Planting Day

Today Leah and I planted our veggie seeds. Well, most of the veggie seeds. Potatoes were planted a few weeks ago and are already green sprouts.
This is pre any work this morning. In the middle is some spinach that got planted awhile back. I had it for lunch today...very delicious! And the potatoes are shooting up...still have a ways to go before we can eat them, but great progress none the less.
Post planting...I know it looks sooo different. We added a little of the good stuff to the soil (peat moss, manure, soil for veggies), stirred it up and planted away.
What did we plant?
Last year everything was too close together and some things, like carrots and squash, never had a chance at sunlight. So this year we spaced better (we think) and did less of everything. Potatoes, 2 different kinds of green beans, squash, cucs, snow peas, and lima beans. I'll plant some tomatoes too in a few weeks. And our blueberry bush is back and green, so we will see if this year it makes any blueberries.
Funny how these fellas will turn into green yummy things in a few months time. So excited!
