I've got so much to share with you! This is a very exciting time of year, as all sorts of things start to happen out in the garden. On Saturday—a sweltering, faux-summer day—we visited our local organic nursery, Silver Heights Farm, where they specialize in wonderful heirlooms and rare varieties. (They have a great website, and a booth at the farmers' market in NYC's Union Square.) We haven't gotten it together yet to start things from seed, and we are so spoiled by their incredible greenhouses fairly bursting with baby plants. G and I are like kids in a candy store, and we tend to overbuy. He took some beautiful pictures of the initial planting, mostly lettuces, a few peas, onions, shallots, cauliflower, broccoli, lots of kale and chicories, and fennel. Cucumbers, tomatoes, Japanese eggplant, tomatillos and summer squash will go in later. I'm also posting an in-progress shot of one end of the garden. You can see one of the places we are in the process of installing flagstone paths, as well as the area marked off for a new raised bed.
