Garden Blogging:

In the cold frames --

(like miniature greenhouses)

I've got lettuce and sunflowers coming up.

Beets, too.

And another summer experiment:

"hugelkultur"

-- a mound built of logs and sticks

overlaid with mulch

(from 5 years worth of firewood) --

And then overlaid again

with undercooked compost from the heap

and a couple of inches of dirt.

I'm a gonna plant some beans 

and nasturtiums on it.

Maybe a squash too.

Can you spot the asparagus spears

poking out below?
