Garden Gnome

Today, The Peanut and I started our garden. We planted the following in an APS starter system. (Advanced propagation system).

We planted, pole beans, soybeans, silver queen corn, pumpkins, spring lettuce mix, red peppers, and carrots. In a couple of weeks we are building a raised garden bed. I have not really had a garden bed since we moved here from San Rafael, and I have missed it. Next weekend the Tomato lady will have her seedlings out. I grow tomatoes in 5 gallon pots(so I can put them on the patio away from the deer) and I am also going to try growing yukon gold potatoes in pots this year. I also bought an Topsy-turvy planter to grow a tomato plant upside down.

I am very much looking forward to a big harvest this year and of course sending a lot of produce to my neighbors.
