overly ambitious gardener

the pepper seeds are starting to sprout!

To say I have a vegetable garden might be a bit of an overstatement. Right now, it's more like two areas of dirt with a few early seeds planted that I'm really hoping will grow and produce veggies. The broccoli, spinach, carrots, lettuce, and beet (golden and red) seeds have been planted, and my kaleidoscope carrots should arrive early next week and those will go directly into the garden.
     Once it warms up, beans, corn, peppers, three varieties of cucumbers, strawberries, and pineberries will be planted. For those of you wondering what the heck a pineberry is—they're white strawberry-shaped berries that taste like pineapples. I've never eaten one, but they seem fun!
     I'm a huge fan of cucumbers. I eat them raw, in salads, and use them to flavor water. (Chris's motivation for growing cucumbers may have more to do with cocktails...) We're planting traditional cukes, mexican sour gherkins, and lemon cukes. I'm really excited about the last two!
     This may seem like a lot for a garden newbie, but I'm really excited to grow things!
