Garden Update

We have most of our "cool" weather veggies planted in our garden now and have been watering them with water from our rain barrel. We'll put the rest of them in as the weather warms up a bit more--the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and cucumbers.

Right now we have: onions (red and white), herbs (cilantro, basil, oregano, rosemary, chives, curly parsley), greens (red and green romaine lettuce, arugula), and squash (green and yellow)

I am looking forward to the new season of the Glenside Farmers' Market starting up this Saturday. I am sure I will be making something next week with chard and asparagus since they will be in abundance!
