Planted today!

It's not pretty...but it's ours. Today, the family planted:

• 6 bush pickle (not likely I will pickle them, we like them raw)
• 3 cucumber
• 2 cherry tomato
• 2 pear tomato
• 2 heirloom tomato
• 2 bell pepper
• 4 purple cauliflower (my first time with cauliflower)
• snap peas
• green beans (took seeds from last year's pods - not sure about this...)
• rosemary
• parsley (organic seeds)
• basil (organic seeds)
• Raspberries are getting their blooms.

It might be too late for some of this stuff. Especially the snap peas & cauliflower. Fingers crossed! Let me know if you have any purple cauliflower tips - I could use them. I think they can get wormy? I have no idea.

I used lots of hay and mulch in the garden this year, hopefully it will help with our annual major weed issue.

I then promptly took Advil. It's my gardening secret - always strike preemptively.

Here's my pretending-to-be-a farmer-but-sooo-not self-portrait. My friend Kenny commented the image of me with a pitchfork would be an interesting one to ponder...so Kenny - this one's for you.
