Garden 2012

Its an unbelievably warm spring so far.  Although today is the first day of spring, it feels more like summertime - it has been in the mid-80s all week!  Aye aye.  So I am being a bit brave and went ahead and planted beets (chiogga), kale (Siberian Dwarf), and Bok Choy.  Bok Choy is new to me, but I don't think it will be too fussy...  Also, this year I am soaking peas and dipping it in an inoculant.  I haven't done this before, but it is supposed to "fix" the nitrogen and increase the yields.  So hooray.  I am also soaking some sweet peas, I have never had any luck with them.  I am going to try to train them up some discarded branches I found in the yard.  I think it might have a more interesting look than a traditional metal trellis.  Hopefully, tomorrow, I can get the seeds started indoors.  Super duper excited!
