Just in time for earth day, we have planted actual seeds in the garden! And a few more plants.
I have rows of lettuce, parsnips and carrots, the bed/trellis for one set of beans when the soil is warm enough, and a new rosemary, wormwood and miniature thyme plants. Tom finished double-digging the last bed to be used this season, and Grant did additional weeding around the existing beds. I hoed and de-clodded the beds that were done and planted a bunch of seeds. Katie planted basil, cilantro/coriander (depends on if we manage to harvest before it goes to seed), and parsley! I have an edelweiss to plant too, thinking about near the medlar by the front door. Also have dahlia tubers ready to go in, and plans for how to make that happen.
Here are a few pics from today, typed this on the full-size computer, and upload the images separately from my ipad. Which I only just learned how to zoom pictures in.
The garden as it is today, with the cold frame completely open (it was HOT!).

The Asian pears.
An elderberry blooming!
Grant and his adorable friend Katie, all cleaned up after getting muddy helping finish digging and planting the garden!
