Ashby Garden has Sprung!



Most of the garden is planted, the pile of branch debris near the Blackberry bramble is almost entirely hauled away (thanks to Masina, Nora, David), the broody chicken is finally, after nearly a month, off her eggs, and it has been gray and overcast for nearly a week. That means our Bay Area Spring is really here! The green house is also overflowing with tomatoes and if anyone wants some plants for their backyard and/or container garden at home please come by next Sunday and take some. They are an unlabeled mystery grab-bag of red and yellow cherry, tomatillos, and others.

I planted some seeds yesterday from my handy planting list (courtesy of the invaluable Golden Gate Gardening book). And if you don't want to pay $102 for a used copy on Amazon (what!?), I'll give you a short list of what seeds you should be planting in June:

Broccoli
Beets
Brussels Sprouts
Cauliflower
Cabbage
Kohlrabi
Lettuce
Celeraic

And, just to make you weep with joy, a baby Sugar Pie Pumpkin...
