A shed takes shape

Where once there was a compost pile, now there are six beams planted. Yes, beams. Not beans. Beams. They are the beginning of our garden shed, a much-needed house for our tools, seeds, and other supplies. This past Saturday, we also got started on the urbanite floor. We have no blueprint, just a mental plan that we're kind of altering as we go -- roots and schedules have to be accomodated, after all. And although it will be a slow project, worked on in tiny steps, we're very pleased it's underway.

Thanks to Tina for brining by her holiday Poinsettia -- we'll find a spot where it can grow big and wild, like they like to do down here.

The kale, carrots, beets, and lettuces are nearly ready to be planted. Almost all of them have their first true leaves, and when they all do, we'll get them in the ground. And then it will be tiime to start summer plants!
