About this time every year, we start getting really anxious for spring to get here. We've got lots of big plans for the garden this year, and are excited about trying out some new seeds that we imported from Thailand at the bequest of our Karen refugee friends. We're hoping that some of the vegetables they remember from Burma and Thailand and can't find in the supermarkets here will do well in our garden. Above, our garlic, which was planted in the fall, will be ready to harvest in early summer. Below, Pu Lue and Aaron working on preparing raised beds in the garden.
We bought a bunch of these magic seed starter soil discs on ebay, and just love them. They start out like the little quarter sized disc on the right, then you just add water, and voila, an instant self-contained home to start a seed indoors. So easy and so convenient. When you're ready to transplant your seedlings into the garden or a larger container, you just tear off the netting.
