It must be Spring!

Pre-garden update - the Brassicaceae have been planted.
Kohlrabi basking in the sun while cabbage, red cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli look on...
(The ancho and big bertha peppers, egg plant, pok choi, and iceberg lettuce are still undercover. Basil is being sown as we speak.)

Onion Shooters

It was gorgeous out today, especially compared to the past week. The little neighbor kids were out playing on their swing set all afternoon, which I think has really been the first time this year - that's when I can tell that it is really almost Spring. (When they get their garden hose going in their little pool, that's when its almost Summer - those kids absolutely love water, more than anything.) They did stop playing long enough to stare at Travis when he scooted by on his new/old scooter...

One more sign that its getting Springish...
The first carrots of the year (some of which were obviously planted a little too close together)

How do you guys have carrots already? They look beautiful aside from some funky shapes. And Travis . . . what can I say besides that that scooter is kick-ass, like no scooter I've ever seen before. The garden's sounding/looking great already.
