Expanding Garden

This weekend my friend and co-worker Juan came over to help with the garden. It seems like it is going to be a really good arrangement for both of us. I get company and help in the garden, and since he doesn't have his own gardening space he gets to be involved and paid in food.
It was kind of a cool and blustery day, but we managed to plant another spinach and lettuce bed, beets, radishes, and carrots. The early greens and peas are taking off, and I should probably stake the peas soon. They are starting to send out tendrils and seem healthy despite some pretty warm days.

Indoor Sprouts

This year I decided to start my indoor sprouts a little later. Last year I was so excited that I started a TON of seeds indoors in February. It ended up that in early April they were ready to go outside, but it was still cold and windy. I also started a bunch of things indoors that really can be directly seeded - squash, pumpkins, basil, and other herbs. Our house doesn't have a lot of great light all day (except for the skylights) and I had sprouts on every available surface that was out of reach of the cats.
I am only using two trays this year, and it should be nice and warm by the time they are ready to be transplanted. These two trays are planted with:
-Tabasco Peppers
-Chadwick Cherry Tomatoes
-Lemon Basil
-Golden Jubilee Tomatoes
-Sweet Italian Basil
-Green Zebra Tomatoes (My Favorite)
-Thyme
-Red House Tomatoes
-Tomatillos
-Marjoram
-Jalapenos
-Pimiento
-Emerald Giant Pepper
- Marigolds

Spring Crops

Ughh...Well, I wrote a whole thing, but accidentally posted it to my painting class blog and that was really embarrassing so all you get is pictures.
