seedlings 2014 |
The vegetable garden is tilled,
the early seeds were planted -
sugar peas, beets and the
strawberry plants are looking good!

seedlings - peppers, tomatoes, zucchini 2014 |
We did start some seeds indoor
these last few weeks.

The peppers took their full

is a few days away, so we'll see
how well the plants are doing before
transitioning them outside.
