Check it out! We have seedlings!!
Yes, indeed, the Brandel Family Victory Garden is sprouting radishes! I love radishes, so I am jazzed. They only take about 21 days to mature, so this is right on schedule. We also now have lettuce and chard sprouting, but the seedlings don't photograph well at this point. Still too small.
So far, in our newly turned bit of earth, we have radishes, lettuce, spinach, chard, carrots and peas all in the ground. In another week, I'll succession-plant more radishes, another round of lettuce, and another row of peas. After that will come all the other goodies: beans, squash, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes, and three kinds of basil, parsley, rosemary, lavender, more nasturtiums and maybe some flowers of unknown type.
In other spring break related news, it was Travis' birthday, so I made him a cake!
Carrot, with homemade cream cheese frosting. MMMmmmm! (and this cake SO better not show up on Cake Wrecks!!)
And my lovable, if crazy, family adored it.
And then we all went out to play in the sunshine!
I think I hear that cake calling my name....maybe just a little piece...ok, maybe a little more than that...ok, I need to get away from the kitchen.
Next on tap, freezing in the park, and why you shouldn't let your 16month old near the toaster.
