The Veggie Patch after 10 weeks
We've eaten a lot of snow peas and green beans, some radishes and a carrot. Looking forward to tomatoes, scallions and spaghetti squash later on!

My Veggie Patch- 4 weeks later
It's been 4 weeks since I planted the patch, and things are growing! (Disclosure- the big leek in the back-right corner is from last year. It took its time, but it eventually grew!!)

Veggie Patch 2013!
I started some seeds in the greenhouse, and transplanted the seedlings and planted new seeds into the veggie patch on St. Patrick's Day, Sunday 3/17/13. I dug some good organic fertilizer into the soil so I won't get pygmy veggies this year! I covered them with Darren's homemade seed row covers until they get big enough so birds don't eat them and the sun doesn't fry them:
I also dug around for any blue potatoes that might've grown from the tater I planted in November... 4 potatoes! OK, they are midget potatoes, and I will probably replant them and try for normal sized ones, but it's a start!

Squash!
I found out by doing some internet searching that I am growing:
Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti Squash
And Buttercup Squash! (also I have a rogue squash taking over my pea trellis)

Peas!
The peas are growing and reaching out for the trellis with their tiny tendrils!! Squashes are doing well too. Yay!

Planting Day, Part 1
Peas along the zig-zag trellis, and 4 squashes along the front. Kind of making use of any space I can between the roses and other plants in the garden. I hope they grow big and tall!

Sprouts - Day 7
They're growing pretty good so far. So far I have winter squash, peas, broccoli, tomato, and catnip. I am still waiting on green beans, spinach, eggplant, chives, and aster flowers. Today I'm going to mix compost in the garden, and peas will go in soon.

My Seeds!
I sowed my seeds 2 days ago, from seed packets Darren gave me for xmas, and a few others I bought. (I later learned not to put seeds in the sun until they are plants. So I moved it from this sunny wondowsill after taking the photo.)
Winter Squash, Peas, Green Beans, Broccoli, Spinach, Tomato, Eggplant, Chives, Catnip for Genever, and Aster flowers. All the veggies are organic, and I will do my best to keep it that way.
And today, not even 48 hours after sowing, I have a pea spout already!
I can't wait for everything to grow, I hope it all works out. I'm hungry!
