This Year's Garden

This afternoon we finally got out to plant some seeds and get the garden up and running for the year. The oregano and mint came back from the winter, and we planted two types of basil, carrots, and lettuce today. We still need to pick up a tomato plant, but I'm glad to have the seeds in. Alex was a good helper, but he likes the watering part of gardening a bit too much. Hopefully the seeds won't get too waterlogged. The mint and oregano are clearly able to survive anything, so I'm not too worried about those.

Here comes the water!



The proud gardener. (You can see how well the oregano came back. The container is already overflowing, and we haven't done anything to it.)
