First planting!

Alrighty, we planted our first crop of food (and a few flowers) today. Here is the breakdown:

from seed
fava beans
merlot lettuce
spinach
little gem lettuce

from starters
galactic lettuce (dark red, highly nutritious)
romaine lettuce
swiss chard
kale
broccoli
white bunching onion
long red florence onion
peas

flowers
foxgloves
royal sweet pea flower

on the deck
thyme
oregano
flat-leaf parsley
tarragon
basil
cilantro
mint
dill

Very exciting! As I pop open a brewski I feel full of hope for the season and excitement for all the meals to come! I will post photos tomorrow when the light of day is back.
