First Planting 2008

Today I planted a few seeds in the cold frame. In went:

• Arugula (some seeds I saved from a variety that originated in Italy a year ago from some seed shared by another community gardener)
• Broccoli raab
• Allstar lettuce mix (for baby greens)
  
• Wildfire lettuce mix (more baby greens, but this mix is mostly reds)
• Swiss chard (Bright Lights)
• Spinach (Space)

If thing progress like they should, we'll be eating fresh salads the first weekend in May.

Yet it's hard to believe how long winter is hanging in there this year. Last year, we had early tulips blooming at this time and the garlic was 3" high. Don't believe me? Look here.

Now if we can just melt out the remaining couple of inches of snow...
