Putting in the Garden

As soon as the weather is nice, the rush is on to start planting. Early this week I started planting and every day I planted some more. Now Im all done and I couldn't be more satisfied (that is, until I can watch the plants start popping up!). This year I planted my salad bowl (greens/radishes etc). I planted some onions, dill, turnip, carrots, kohlrabi, cabbage, green and yellow beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupes, zucchini, pumpkins, popcorn, regular corn, 4 types of squash and Im sure Ive forgotten something. My biggest challenge was hardening my tomato plants, who got sunburnt and wind tossed the second I put them out. Next year I will harden them in the shade for the first little while. I worked so hard to get everything planted and then for a whole week we hadn't got rain, and nothing except some faithful turnips popped up. After a seemingly long wait, it finally started raining, and I don't have to be worried. Im looking forward to the days ahead where I can watch my plants start growing!
