Last year we planted our first garden. Despite some rookie mistakes, it was a rather successful endeavor. All winter we planned and plotted, started composting and got excited for the new gardening year.
We planted our seedling less than two weeks ago. Last week they looked like this. Just one week later here they are!
I'm almost worried that they'll grow too big before they are able to go into the ground!
While I'm excited about all of the tasty food we'll have come summer, what's really got me jazzed is how involved the kids want to be. Sam has been all over me to help plant seeds and help dad dig in the dirt. I asked his advice about what to grow and he actually suggested something! Peas! We're growing peas at the request of my child! Beyond growing our own veggies, we're also thinking about joining a co-op, or donating our excess to a local food bank.
There is a lot to do, and there is a lot to think about. I'm glad I have the company of my family to accompany me on these journeys.

I love spring! I am probably the only intercity Baltimore resident growing tomatoes (in pots) in a cement yard.
I planted some of my cold veggies but I'm way late on planting my indoor seeds.
And as of this writing my seeds have been planted and are almost the size of yours.
