• Harvested enough peas for a picnic and some left over...four squares worth are producing (my first two plantings) and I should harvest the third planting in a day or so
• The first nastritum opened a day or two ago. I don't think there are even any more buds, but it is a striking orange flower. It puts the marigolds I just planted to shame.
• Harvested my last spinach planting. It is enough for a very small side salad for me and Ryan. So delicious though. But I'd need three or four squares producing at once for a decent size dinner salad or any kind of main dish spinach salad.
• The beans have blossoms on today. I planted another square a day or so ago.
  

Put in tomatoes and corn. Harvested spinach--only a handful, but it was delicious. 

Bought and applied a slow release fertilizer. 

Put in first square of beans a few days ago.

Status report

• first batch of peas and spinach are finally poking up--hopefully the four days of cold rain won't hurt them any
  
• my started seedlings put out some of their first true leaves this week

Peas and Spinach

I got a new list of dates to plant by. This one from the seed company down the street and they say peas and spinach can go in Feb. 1. Since the weather has been so warm and sunny, and I've been itching to plant anyway, I put them in today. Ian planted a square and Molly planted a square of peas and they both helped put in the spinach.

Daffodils

I moved a bunch of daffodils yesterday and they're not dead yet.
