Spring Garden

After a long hiatus, I'm back to gardening. My fall garden didn't go well- we had a lot of rain and the lack of gutters (normal in CA) resulted in a flooded bed. Thanks to la Nina though, we're now having a dry, warm spring.  After spending the morning de-weeding the neglected bed I put in the following seeds:

• Choi Sum (like baby bok choi) from in-laws
• Pak Choi Mei Qing Choi
• Gai Lan? The package is in Chinese
• Te Yu gai lan
• Hatakena
• Snow peas from in-laws
• Purple Dragon carrots
• Golden Beets
• Little Finger carrots

You'll notice a theme with the garden this season. I promised Jon that I'd try to grow some Asian veggies for him. It didn't go so well this fall, so I'm giving it a second go now.  Its definitely an experiment- I'm not totally sure what some of these plants are suppose to look like. It makes weeding a little more adventurous.
