Garden Porn

Things are hopping in the the garden! I've got one raised bed fully sprouting with radishes, spinach, lettuce, kale, endives, and more. I suppose that's basically the salad bed, eh? The second bed is planted with more radishes (what can I say, I love them), arugula (Laura calls it "Obama Spinach"), spinach, and onions. So... another salad bed. Geesh. Perhaps I need to plan this better for next year. Anyway, some pics so far:

Some of my radioactive-green chives

Raspberry floricanes starting to bud leaves next to my fence.

Wormwood seedlings

Leek starts hardening off next to the house

Finn trotting around the back yard. (He doesn't wear the leash anymore, since he's shown that he won't run out into the street and get killed.)

Also, my dill is sprouting heartily, the garlics are going crazy, and the peppermint is coming back from the abuse which I dealt it last winter.

I'm also going to plant a weed garden: things that are nutritious and delicious but denigrated as weeds. Dandelion, lambs quarter, sorrel, orach, burnet, purslane, and some calendula flowers thrown in for color!

As I write this, Finn is sitting my lap, purring, his chin on my right arm, little claws kneading my leg. Good Beethoven playing on the iTunes.

Apparently at this stage of my life, late night porn is good music, warm purring kittens, gardening, and a glass of wine. Did I mention the wine?
