    Yep, you are hooked. I can tell. Isn't it amazing how some little green leaf popping through the dirt can THRILL us?

    About the time you think you are getting pretty darn good at it, mother nature throws you a curve ball or they come out with some new plant that you know nothing about and have to start all over reading about it cause it is a MUST HAVE on your list. But you will love it........god only knows why....little growing things I guess, that we can nuture along.

    Great!
    Just a little advice: weed it & thin the radishes out.
    All the best with your gardening!

    I know the feeling

    Our garen is 3X bigger this year than last year and we have planted things we have not done before.
    Mainly cold crops , and pototoes. And they are jumping so big now and looking just great. I'm excited Oh, and the garlic too !
    We have gotten compliments on how the garden looks from several people recently. Keeping the weeds down helps it look even better.
    I hope I can keep up with it freezing and canning this summer. I know we can't keep up with it just fresh each day.

    Put the frog in pot, turn up the heat real slow, and the frog doesn't hop out. And by the time he realizes, he should , it's too late... think about it.

    Mine has been great this year, as well! I had to move it into the dogs' run to protect it from the ground squirrels, but that did the trick!
