I have a green thumb

So it seems anyway. I was really stressing because I planted peas and then they didn't sprout and they didn't sprout, etc. Right as I was ready to call vegetable gardening quits, I walked through the garden and saw little green weeds all in a row! YAHOO. We now have lettuce (Ed Hume Black seeded Simpson) and Super Sugar Snap Edible Pod, pole peas that have sprouted (planted about a month ago) and I have just recently planted butternut squash starts from inside (Ed Hume seeds), tomato starts (bumble bee, steak, and sugar hybrid) as well as two varieties of carrots (Ed Hume Carrot-Imperator and Ed Hume Hybrid), Green Beans- Blue Lake Bush (Ed Hume), and Broccoli Waltham 29 (Ed Hume). Herbs: Garlic starts from Fred Meyer, Peppermint, and Lemon Variegated Thyme. I have to record the varieties so that I don't have to try and remember for next year.These are my two little rows with our homemade markers. Artwork by Braden

I have found this whole gardening thing to be a wonderful experience. Braden loves watering the garden with us and I love working in the dirt and seeing things grow and flourish. I have to also brag about my wildflowers that are coming up around my fruit trees. Ed Hume wildflowers for the Pacific NW also gave me a scare because it took them about 1.5 months before I saw anything coming up.
This will be heads of lettuce sometime (with some slug bait)
