And its started

Today I finally flipped out a load of compost--I set up my last tomato box (not counting the ones I have to, um, build) and some plant is going to be VERY happy in that box.

I took some photos of my garlic, so later I'll post those.

Today I started lettuce...head lettuces and cutting mix. Bell peppers, cucmbers, and tomatoes. Three are cherries: sweet 100 (red) lemondrop (yellow) and sungold (orange) The sungold took over the earth last summer. I also started 2 large varieties...Rutgers and Jersey Giant. The latter is a good paste tomato and was picked because I plan on making my own sauce this year. I also use a lot of canned diced tomatoes, and I am am going to try and put some of my own up (probably frozen) I picked the two large varieties from Baker Creek as they were both developed here in Jersey...it seemed appropriate.

I also started some barley and cat grass for my kitty, and moved some of the overwintered plants to my bedroom, where it is easy to pop them outside when its nice out.

Now to stand back and wait...
