First spring planting

The first sign of spring in our house is the first asparagus coming up.

Unfortunately we can't start eating them this year, they need to have all the energy stored up for next year.  Even so, we are both so thrilled to see this indication that spring is on the way.  (I am preparing to defend the asparagus from Peter, we must give up this year for the next 20). 

This does mean its time to set up the beginnings of our garden.  We tilled up the soil one last time before planting our boxes and the first few rows.

We planted Red Beard Onions, Utah Yellow Jumbo Onions, Walla Walla Onions, Watermelon Radishes, Champion Radishes, French Breakfast Radishes, Blood Turnips, Sugar Snap Peas, and American Flag Leaks. 

We will be able to start pulling vegies out of the garden as early as late April.  (We will also then have to replace each row with something else).
