    This week marks the start of a new series, What’s Growing. We hope to post once a week a list and pictures of what’s growing in our backyard garden and around the neighborhood.

    So, this week, here’s What’s Growing:

    Tomato, pepper, foxglove, and broccoli seedlings, being hardened off for a growing number of hours a day
    Broccoli raab and broccoli in their beds
    Pea shoots about 3 inches tall
    Spinach and lettuce with second and third leaf sets
    Garlic and onions

      I don’t know which I like best….. the strawberries or the julip! Nice posts you have about gardening. Not quite sure what part of the country you live in but I know that we are getting warmer here on the east coast. And I love it.
