Growing up revisited

Just a quick post to show the new seedlings growing. I can see the difference between the kale and the chinese cabbage now with the second set of leaves (I am sure they have a more scientific name) coming through. I am excited about the kale – I saw a recipe with kale and it looked so scrumptious! ย With so much nutritional value, it can only be a great addition to any plate! I also harvest a variety of lettuces daily for our lunch salad! No more red, juicy tomatoes, but I do have the small yellow Blondekopf tomatoes. Very sweet and there are always lots of them!

Here we have the kale

Country living is the best! Being a true spirit of the earth, my garden is all about vegetables and fruit trees and herbs and chickens roaming free. I was keen to really start gardening when we moved to Philadelphia in 2005, but not your typical suburban-type garden โ€“ sterile and bug-free! I wanted an edible garden.

I’m glad you said “I think it’s cabbage” — I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgets to label stuff or chooses not to because “it will be easy to remember”. ๐Ÿ™‚

I planted some vine bulbs the other day, and promptly forgot where the pot went. No idea where I set it, so I didn’t get a chance to stick a tag in it.

Ha, so funny! I always think I will remember…… gonna have to label EVERYTHING! ๐Ÿ™‚
But it will be fun to see what I did plant there!
