a busy week in the garden!
Wow! What a super week.
I haven't posted because I've been busy gardening. Last weekend I tended my backyard. Monday I helped my parents in their garden - its all planted now and looks beautiful. Tuesday, I spent a long drizzly afternoon in my community plot. I brought in compost and planted lots of little seedlings. Like my parents, the beds are full now. The only garden still waiting for me is my side yard where the very warm weather plants (beans, watermelon, eggplants, cukes, etc) will go in.
I think its probably the earliest I've ever gotten my gardens planted. The weather has been perfect this spring!
I have lots of photos and will add them soon.

Perfect weather...and NO mosquitos! ....yet ; )
But the ticks are really bad here in Chicago, 3 of us had them on our scalp and arm.
I can't wait to see the pictures! I'm such a rookie and love reading your blog!

Lovely! I can feel the excitement and pleasure on your writing :]
I am having big problem with slugs and snails. They ate allot of my cabbage, bok-choy, broccoli, kale...leaves. I am getting some kind of food for them that will stop them from feeding. Covers did not work. Some how they got in and baby once are smaller than a pin head. I hope this will be the only problem this season.
I listened to your advice and germinated my peas using paper towels indoors. They are happily growing now :] just hopping will not ht too hot at once before I get anything form them.
Thanks for sharing your excitement and knowledge with us Kathy.
Happy gardening,

I appreciate all of your great ideas. I have also recently transplanted eggplants and cukes. Alongside my young daughter who is growing her own strawberries for the first time. :) I write a blog about tackling indoor/outdoor tasks together. Feel free to check out the post about gardening together.
