Springtime!

I love spring.  It's the season I don't even have to think to come up with something for the club to do on a Tuesday afternoon.   There's just so much that needs to be done.  Today we finished planting the scallions, brought a bunch of compost out to the bin, did some weeding and finished turning our last bed.  In just a few weeks we'll be planting pumpkins there.

Alex, Isador, Jason and Mr. V finish planting the scallions.

Inside we've got cucumbers, jalapenos, sweet peppers and three varieties of tomatoes started.  They've all sprouted and are under the grow light for now.  We'll put them out in the cold frame to toughen up in a few weeks and put them in the ground around the first of May.

Speaking of May. . . I'd like to do a spring garden party.  Which is a better Saturday for folks?  May 7th or May 14th?

Thanks to Angelo and the kids for another great Tuesday!  And thanks to Beamer for being photographer for the day.

Michael's serious look.

Meanwhile, in the other bed. . .

Just a few more to go.

Some sort of pupa we found in our pumpkin bed.

Brian's serious face.

Alex's "satisfied with myself" face.  Either that,
or he got a whiff of a compost bucket.

Beamer's dad's "Give me the camera, I'll show you how it's done." face.

Some of the guys.

We are THIS happy about snack!
