kale

Eating kale, lettuce, and spinach from the garden. Kind of amazing considering our spring weather: frost, snow, rain, and wind. Garden is resilient.

OK, peppers are not doing so well.

Peas are fine, 6 inches tall and climbing.

It's so satisfying to dig, plant, weed, and harvest. It's so good to be able to eat local, organic, raw. It's super de duper fab to find a harmless substance that deters slugs. Coffee. So far I've scattered coffee grounds near seedlings. As garden grows I will try brewing, cooling, and spraying coffee.
