WHOA spring growth

Wow, the spring rains are making things really grow. Those Chinese greens ended up being prickly and huge and that big white guy is a Chinese radish.



COMPOST!!

The awesome folks at Wash U's kumquat garden done schooled us on how to build an awesome compost pile and now all those suckers (the tomato kind) are composting like crazy!!!!

Spring time = plants!

Last Tuesday we started getting things in the ground in time for good rains. We planted a bunch of peppers, 5 tomato plants (with large stakes), zinnia, and seeds: pumpkin, nasturtium, marigold, and a few watermelons. Sounds totally haphazard, but its going to be rad.
