Past Season Garden Leftovers

Here’s B with a carrot we found growing. Amazing, it survived the winter and started sprouting again. We only found it because I recognized the green leaves.

When I did the raised beds this year I though I had transplanted all the strawberries but I must have missed a few. These have started growing between the beds.

If you happen to follow my modernorganicmama.com blog you might have seen the beautiful sunflower we had in the middle of the garden last year. Well it must have dropped a few seeds and they survived the double digging and raised bed making this year because here they are.

I also had some dill and cilantro I let go to seed in this bed last year and here is the proof. I now have Dill and Cilantro growing on the outside of the bed.

I also have some sprouting in the middle of the bed. Dill is like a weed.  A yummy weed though.

Civil Eats

In my blog surfing, I was on Mark Bittman’s blog and read about swine flu and CAFOs, I stumbled across an interesting new site, Civil Eats. It’s a great blog site with lots of catagories covering all aspects of well, civil eating. Categories include, grow your own, in the kitchen, food policy and more. Check it out.
