It has been a rather cold, slow start to spring. Last week on spring break, I weeded and conditioned the soil in the other half of our garden. We added some organic soil conditioner as well as regular top soil since we tend to lose a lot every year.
I also repotted the chives and thyme that survived the winter. Last year's sage (smaller pots) is doing well with some new growth. I might put them in the ground soon and hopefully they will last!
I planted some arugula and spinach in pots, and moved another thyme plant into the ground out front to see if it survives. Below is the arugula (although a squirrel has been digging through it persistently...)
Indoors, the tomatoes and peppers are doing great. I've been putting them outside for short periods of time to harden them up.
I've had to replant my herbs a few times because they accidentally dried out in the cardboard egg cartons. I remember last year that styrofoam actually worked better because I didn't have to water the herbs so often. Now all the herbs are growing, and the sage in the glass jar looks particularly lovely.
