We Have Blog.

    I finally figured out how to make and post to a blog, and I’ve been working on getting this thing up and running.  So, today, I go live!  Thanks to everyone who comes to the Gardens and enjoys what they read here!  This will be a running log of the goings on at the Gardens, posted for my reference, and your entertainment and education.
    What follows (in reverse order, start at the bottom) is my garden journal beginning March 15, 2010, when I started keeping notes in preparation for launching this blog.  We’ve still got some sunflower seeds from last year, so grab a handful and enjoy the read.
  
   The radishes are doing nicely as of today. 
I love radishes because they grow so quickly.  Here's a close up at ground level;  I love getting in really low and close with plants when I photograph them.                   They become so individual and characteristic.
    There are also some sprouts in the cosmos bed that I’m hoping are cosmos.  I looked for pictures of cosmos sprouts on the internet, but couldn’t find any that were good enough quality to match up with mine.  There was one that looked good, but it was a little older and further along than mine; the sprouts in the picture had their first and second set of true leaves.
    Something is sprouting in the herb garden, but I didn’t label or make a map when I planted, so I’m not sure what it is.  It could be fenugreek, I don’t know.  We’ll see.
