Tight fit for all that, but is sounds wonderful. Our three beds out front at just waiting for a little warmer soil and my neighbor will be going crazy. Unfortunately, 3 of the 6 blueberry bushes were hit by a root fungus last year and won’t be bearing fruit for at least a few years, but 3 of 6 is still not bad, eh?

Let us see some pictures if you get a chance (pre-, and post growth).

Pak choy? I am intrigued and might join you! I bought a big bag of bok choy at farmer’s market that I’m wondering now if it wasn’t pak choy.

our chives, planted by a friend all over the garden in the winter, are going crazy and are so wonderfully fun to snip into soups and over egg dishes (yum, frittata). I feel so French. you’ll love it!

Mmmmm...radish and butter sandwiches. Can’t wait!

Ivy, we are inspired by this post and want to promote it in our Spring Fever blogging contest! I’ll do a couple of small formatting edits and find a photo we can use (unless you have one you’d like to add?) — and move it to the top of the home page later this afternoon. Congrats! You might win some farmers’ market money for your efforts.

Pak choy, bok choy. It’s actually the same thing, just a non-standardized spelling. Either way, it’s tasty. What I wish I could plant in my garden this year is choi sum -- a vegetable I learned to like when I lived in Hawai`i, and haven’t seen since. Maybe I should wander down to Uwajimaya and see if they have it? Meanwhile, my own garden pots on the tiny balcony at my apartment are going to have potatoes and chives, and wildflowers, for certain. Something is coming up already from last year (not sure, but I think it might be marigolds from around my tomatoes that never came to anything). Have a BUNCH of other seeds, but can’t guess what might actually come up -- and I haven’t planted anything, YET... but your post is making me excited to get my handsa little dirty!

Oh, to have a garden. These all sound lovely.

I am cutting back on the garden-gave up our community plot due to politics of the city! So we’re ripping out part of the back lawn to grow heirloom tomatoes. This is the only location that gets all day sun in our yard. I usually grow over 100 varieties of heirloom tomatoes.

I’ll grow the usual purple beand and peas, Rainbow chard, red-purple-yellow-white orange peas, a plethora of basils, culantro, cilantro, and other herbs, red yardlong/noodle beans, 4 colours of beets, and on and on.
