In the garden...

Today I had the chance to get out an work in the sunshine - it's about 60 degrees and alternately sunny/overcast. Perfect weather for some heavy duty weeding and soil maintenance.

 

I potted up some cabbage seedlings that were just starting to show their true leaves. 

  

This is the floor of my studio right now - the newly potted up cabbages, some eggplant, tomato, tomatillo, patty pan squash, bell pepper, hot pepper, kale, chard, cauliflower and broccoli seedlings. This is my smallest set up, and it'll be expanding quickly very soon.



This is the left side of our front yard garden. The final bed filled with cover crop was chopped down today by Matt,  and I pulled up a somewhat crazy amount of weeds. I should start weighing how many pounds of weeds I pull each day.




This is the right hand side. Everything looks pretty brutal right now because we chopped down the cover crop and then mulched with it. 

The poppies are crazy invasive - I didn't even plant them this year! They are all volunteers from last year, and about 20x the amount from then, too. It's a nice seasonal splash of color, but damn...
