There are only a few acts of such simple and direct hope and optimism as planting one’s garden. Today, despite the truly strange blizzard-let of snow, I started the seeds which require 6 to 8 weeks of indoor growth. <\/p>\n

* Early: Snow peas, radishes, and Swiss Chard. Hopefully some onions and kale will come back from last year.
\n* Mid: Herbs herbs herbs! Got a “planter pack” suitable for the 3′ container where my sequoia died last year.
\n* Late: Tomatoes (Better Boy), Hot peppers (mixed), and Cukes (Picklebush).
\n* Also: Flowers! Flowers! Flowers! I’m dedicating a major portion of the garden to a late-summer flower garden designed to *move* this house when we put it on the market. <\/p>\n
Yeah, I’ve seen this movie before … the one where the protagonist gets his garden all planted and then has to move out of the house right at harvest time? Bah humbug. Humbug, I say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
