start a fruit and vegetable garden

And everything’s sprouting!

This last weekend I dug out a big fennel plant that had taken root in our rock wall:

Then, we planted our first batch of seeds: arugula, swiss chard, beets, and snap peas.

Then, the sun came out hardcore for a few days and I’m hoping they’ve all been inspired to germinate.

Took a day to get rid of all the weeds. We also bought a bunch of vegetables to plant, which we’ll do right after I dig up one last giant fennel plant in the wall.

Russell and Lia have a 10’ x 10’ plot at the Belltown pea patch and they’ve generously volunteered to share it with us as we learn how to grow fruits and vegetables for ourselves. I’m super excited.
