Spring is finally here! The garden is starting to poke it's head out of the dirt again, thankfully. I've missed my dirty fingernails and toes. thankfully- they're back :)

As soon as the beautiful weather last week hit, we were outside turning the compost and inspecting the garden. It looks AWESOME! So many of the little guys are coming back: chamomile, valerian, yarrow, garlic, onions, strawberries, chives, parsely, cabbages, kale, lilies, and sage. 4 beds got a good inch of compost added onto the top, and the compost got a good aerating. (Smelly from the winter, though. but, much better now :) )

I've been hard at work cleaning out the garden workroom adjacent to the garden. It's tidied, swept, vaccuumed, and slightly organized. (There's always more to be done!) My roommate Nick & I set up a great little growing nook in the garden workroom- a huge energy efficient grow lamp over a table with all my little starts on it. I've planted so much already! But now must take a small hiatus as I've run out of potting soil and cell packs. ha!

Here's a short list of what I'm REALLY excited about this season:

White Tomilo tomatoes

Emerald Evergreen tomatoes

Sungold tomatoes

Siam Queen thai basil

Mini windowbox basil

Smokey Bronze fennel

Asian long eggplants

White Ceremonial Sage

AND MORE!
