Phillip's Garden

He's been working on this for weeks--- digging the dirt, (and sometimes digging up more rock than dirt), then growing seedlings in the basement, getting up early in the morning to bring them outside to harden, and then hurrying home between classes and work to bring them back inside before it got to cold in the evening... and now we are all seeing the fruits of his labors! This is truly an impressive garden.
He has also planted a peach tree! And did I tell you about the strawberries? The lettuce is my favorite right now-- so fresh! Thank you Phillip!

Phillip's Winter Garden

After an unusually mild winter, we're experiencing an unusually early Spring-- yesterday it was 81 degrees!!! It felt really wonderful and I'm afraid it's raising expectations that this will continue. With such warmth in the air, Phillip removed the cover to his winter garden-- and lo and behold, he's growing so many wonderful things! The bib lettuce is looking ripe for picking, and so is the kale and brocolli. Now- we just need to clean up the yard...
