Yesterday we planted seeds and covered them with grocery bags until they sprout. We planted:
N 16, A 16, Mommy 16 Utah yellow sweet spanish onion
N 4, A 4, Mommy 4 granex hybrid (vadalia) onion
N 4, Mommy 2 chives allium schoenoprasum
N 4, Mommy 4 Utah 52-70 celery
N 4, Mommy 2 Parsley dark green italian
N 16, A 8, Mommy 16 cauliflower hybrid snow crown
N 16, A 16, Mommy 12 cauliflower veronica hybrid romanesco (WE USED UP THE WHOLE PACKET OF THIS CRAZY CAULIFLOWER)
Today I got a yam from the store, cut it up with eyes on each piece, and put it on tin foil in front of the window for it to dry.
LOVE IT: Nathan told me after planting together, "I love gardening with you."
