Spring has Sprung!

Well it's definitely spring time in Jersey, it's going to be in the 80s next week...  I went ahead and took an inventory of what's popping up - other than a ton of Lamb's Quarters - UGH!

We have tons of scallion that Jared has been cultivating


They're pretty huge - I thought they were the leeks we planted years ago. We also have some pretty mint weed that been taking over one side of the yard. Jared believes it's Creeping Charlie.


And of course we can't forget about our Dandelions


Personally I love the way the yellow and the purple looks together, since they are complimentary colors  it's obvious they would be compliments in nature

On the other side of the yard we have a couple of our veggies coming in, here are Collards, Spinach and Kale

Our Asparagus is also doing pretty well. This is the year we can finally harvest them - yay!


Our herbs also did pretty well. We have some Sage 


and Oregano.


Let's not forget the rogues, here is some Lemon Balm that sprung up in an unexpected spot


and a Kale that popped up in the yard.


And of course we can't forget the Catnip that Lola found!

Have we got a VIDEO??

OK that's one of the few Young Ones references I can remember...



So I decided to make this entry a video blog... a VLOG! Welcome me to the 21st century!

Winter Warriors

So as a newbie planting greens I didn't know that they could be so hardy and overwinter. we have a Spinach bunch and Two collards that started coming up in March...



And no, those are not rabbit or deer nibbling on the Collards, I can't just help myself taking a piece now and then









I have also planted two rows of Collards and am looking forward to the harvest.
