Last week was a very busy one for me but I managed to get a bit done in spite of having limited free time. Bought tomato plants, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts on Saturday. I noticed the bunching onions that I seeded last week are beginning to emerge. Snap peas are up ~4" tall. I sowed some dill, cilantro, radishes, and tatsoi yesterday. Salad in the cold frame is rocking. We've been eating on it for the past week.

Re-potted the tomatoes yesterday. I'm only putting out 32 this year.

Cabbages, etc. are in the dirt. Garlic and potatoes in the background. I'm hoping the feed sacks reduce the need for weeding. I was hoping to go no-till, tried it last year, couldn't keep up with the crabgrass so I will continue to experiment until I find something that works.

Little patch of volunteer cilantro. I'm going to let it grow. It will be ready to harvest long before time to make salsa so I'll dry it and then grind it up for later use.
