...and my farming continues!

It's been almost six weeks and the raised bed garden is "growing strong!"  We had a problem with the spinach--which I replaced last week.  The kale is growing like crazy...in fact, so much that I gave some to a neighbor.

Since the first planting, I added a variety of herbs.  We have been using them for cooking and baking.  Basil, bay leaf, cilantro, dill, sage, oregano, and thyme.  I also added a pot of sugar snap peas, a few kinds of tomatoes, and leeks!
