Garden Update 5/9/09

It's my birthday! Its going to be 50 today! Hurrah! You can tell I'm a Montanan, who else gets excited over 50 degree weather?!

The general rule around here is to wait until Memorial Day to plant a garden. But the other rule is that it always rains on Memorial Day. So!

I am waiting to plant my seeds but the plots are turned and ready to go. Of course, they are already sprouting grass! I plan to plant a lot of stuff:

Spinach
Lettuce
Beets
Peas
Greenbean
Onions
Peppers
Tomatoes (not from seed!)
Cabbage
Cucumbers
Carrots
Raddishes
Lima beans
Zuchinni

My friend Dana has an internship at a CSA, here in Bozeman. She told me that they planted artichokes!
