2016 Garden Planting

One of my favorite days of the year is when we plant our vegetable garden in the spring! We buy most of our plants as seedlings from our local farmer's market plant sale. The last 2 years it's worked out that the plant sale was the weekend after the Mother Earth News fair, which is great timing. We plant a few things from seed too. This year we planted extra cucumber plants because we're hoping to maybe sell our homemade pickles this year. Here are pictures from our garden planting day:




Spring is also when a few perennial flowers that pre-date us come up at our house. This year I took a few pictures of the irises that are planted on the edge of our yard.
