Life on Ye Olde Griffin Farm

I'm getting really anxious to plant summer stuff and have been working very hard at getting the garden ready.
So out with the old, in with the new! Its time to do a final harvest of all our cold weather veggies.
Here's a tasty salad from our winter garden x3...that's how many times I tried to get a decent picture of the girls.

Today it was time to rip out all of the carrots and onions. Many of them probably could have used some more grow-time. But like I said, I'm anxious for watermelons and tomatoes (I'm anticipating actually growing some this year)

Girls getting down to work

Found one!

Baby carrots

Here's all my onions and carrots. Well, not ALL. I pulled up carrots all winter long whenever I was making a recipe requiring some. This is all that was left in the ground as of today. The onions are a little on the pathetic side (I planted them back in October!) I'm just happy they grew though. I bought the little starter bulbs a coupl years ago and they'd been shovd in some forgotten corner of the garage the whole time. The fact they grew at all is amazing.

If I had a food blog, I'd post pictures like this:

Lessons learned this year: Don't grow radishes, no one will eat them. Same with the greens, no one at this house likes those either and I can't ever disguise them well enough.

Do grow carrots, peas, LOTS of brussel sprouts (MYAH loves them!) and get some better onions. If I do lettuce again, give them shade next time so they don't get as bitter.

Stay tuned for summer progress pictures!
