First pull from the garden

First up is the red lettuce. 

Totally went in tonight's salad. 

A few garden upgrades.

Picked some paving stones and a water barrel up from Home Depot:

...put the stones around the peremetre of the garden bed:

After a bit of tin-snipping, I installed the water barrel under a downspout. 

Found some wild thyme growing in the bushes behind the house, so I transplanted that into the top of the barrel. We'll see if it takes:

And then for good measure, I finally picked some of that wild rhubarb growing  in the backyard for dessert tonight! :)

Veggie Garden

So apparently this is what happens when you take some of those potatoes you forgot to eat, and put them in a box full of dirt. 

Also, the peas, carrots, lettuce and tomatoes are coming along well after 2-3 weeks
