Ok, I know that for people who have planted horseradish in their gardens, it can hold a place along with mint or bindweed but I, for one, am so grateful for it.
I kept mine in a pot, threw it in the greenhouse, and slapped some straw over it. and I was sure it didn't make it through the winter but look:

What's not to celebrate? The sun is out, the hens are laying, and we have sprouts popping up daily. The most recent: Broccoli!
I am so excited. A bit nervous too, if I'm being honest. I have a lot of flats popping up with seedlings. Good thing I have gardeny friends who might want to share the bounty! Those of you who are gardeners already know what this really means. It's exciting and lovely and so wonderful. It also means we're going to be eating a lot of greens (and peas) very soon. The first few salads are going to be wonderful and then....
So, some of these ideas weren't right up my alley but this one seemed worth trying.
It's garden season everyone! You plant stuff, you grow stuff, you know that this is... Yep. Those are the first sprouts of the 2015 gardening year. They're a lettuce mix and I cannot wait to eat them. And if that wasn't enough... My mâche (aka corn salad) just began to sprout as well. It's hard not to get excited at this time of the year, even in Zone 4 when it's all overcast. And thank goodness for greenhouses!
So, there was a post before this one - and I don't mean a duck peeking in my window. Yes, that really happened. Anyway, I posted it and then... it was gone. My theory is that it was such a great post, such an award winning post that the interwebs couldn't handle it and, to protect itself, the interwebs hid it. So, here is my attempt to recapture perfection. It's a funny thing, this web page. You wouldn't know it but have been talking to all of you for years. I've wanted to do this and started a few times but it's never stuck. Why is that? Well, I've always been a big fan of go big or go home. It turns out that if you go too big, the project is too much and it just can't get off the ground. So, instead of starting with a huge webpage, full of completely developed resources, articles by guest authors, and all of that kind of stuff, I've decided to start in a smaller, though much more logical place; the beginning. That sentiment always puts this song in my head: And now it can be in your head too.
Kidding aside, there is something to be said for starting at the beginning. My hope is that I can share enough information to make that beginning a little less challenging, a little lighter and more fun, a little more hopeful. Here we'll share information on everything from gardening in the forest to living with goats and various philosophical matters. I'm looking forward to hanging out with you. |
