A Promising Week

New crops are popping up every time we look away. When we arrived home from work last night, we saw our Stover seeds Scarlet Nantes Carrots beginning to poke through the soil. We aren't completely sure that the soil below our raised bed is loose enough for the carrots to reach their full potential but we'll see. Here are our newborn carrots:



We're also seeing the beginnings of the spring onions but not enough to get a good photo.

Here is our morning routine - a good watering and a photo shoot as we head out the door.



I can't help but worry a bit about the garden while a construction crew rebuilds our neighbors' deck right next to the garden. Stay strong, little ones! Of course, the biggest threat is probably not an errant footprint but the rogue weeds trying to take over our arugula - aggressive oxalis just outside the planter and even creeping in a bit. We also have some wild mushrooms -- think we should try eating them? (Just kidding.)



Tomorrow some serious weeding will commence. In the meantime, our trusty lemon tree just keeps cranking out the produce.
