In the spring a young(ish) (wo)man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of (gardening)

OK, I have all my seeds started except for the soybeans and corn. I only started one kind of tomatoes this year. I’m taking the kids to buy some other kinds later today.

Whew! Looking at this list, I’m starting to think I might be insane. But then I think of all the salsa and salads and yummy fresh veggie side dishes coming up soon, and I feel content. You know how in cartoons when someone is hungry they look at a chicken and imagine it cooked up and ready to eat? That’s what I see when I look at my tiny seedlings. Big bowls of veg goodness, ready to eat.

Potatoes (Katahdin)
Onions (2 kinds, yellow and white)

Kohlrabi
Bok choi (2 kinds, baby and adult)

Carrots
Radish
Swiss chard
Lettuce mix
Spinach (2 kinds, new!)
Zucchini (2 kinds, green and yellow)
Tomatoes
Bell peppers
Cucumbers
Butternut squash (of course)
Basil

Cilantro
Parsley
Peas
Soybeans (new!)
Beets (new!)
Bush beans (green beans)

And not to forget the perennials:
