Mid-April Garden Update

I have pictures, but they aren't very clear because I was excited and took them with my phone.

 I was surprised and thrilled to see the asparagus I planted last year had come up. ASPARAGUS!!! It's a perennial, so I should continue getting asparagus every spring.
 This strawberry plant was already here and is doing good. A few of the ones I transplanted are sprouting leaves. I'm looking forward to strawberries this summer.
 The little green spots in front of and behind the white fence are snap pea sprouts. They've gotten taller and put out leaves in the few days since I took the picture.
 I scooped the marigold seeds left from last year's massive marigold plants and some of the dirt from the front garden plot before planting strawberries and peas. I put the dirt in a planter, and now the marigolds have sprouted. I'll transplant them throughout the garden to keep pests away and provide some pretty color.

The back planter has chives, which are also perennials. I planted lettuce in the back between the groups of chives and spinach in front of it. The front planter has mini carrots and a gourmet blend of radishes. 








I've got more things planned but not planted.  I've got seedlings to transplant. After the weather warms again, I'll get back out to my garden.
