Between Thursday, Friday and today (Saturday), I feel as though I got a good start on the garden. Here's what happened so far.

Hand turned about 2/3 of the garden. Managed to get the radishes, onions, and peas in yesterday. Today I finished planting the lettuces. Here's what I put in today:

• Lettuce Salad Bowl (Lake Valley™ brand) - matures in 50 days
• Mesclun Salad Mix (Burpee® brand) - matures in 48 days
  › 15% Black Seeded Simpson
  › 15% Red Salad Bowl
  › 15% Lollo Rossa
  › 15% Royal Oak Leaf
  › 20% Arugula Rocket
  › 20% Radicchio Verona
• Tom Thumb Letuce Butterhead (Burpee® brand) - matures in 65 days
• Mesclun Zesty Salad Mixture (Lake Valley™ brand) - matures in 45 days
  › 25% Tango
  › 15% Lola Rossa
  › 15% Black Seeded Simpson
  › 15% Deer Tongue Red
  › 15% Royal Oak Leaf
  › 5% Arugula
  › 5% Frisee
  › 5% Mizuna
• Lettuce Simpson Black Seeded (Lake Valley™ brand) - matures in 45 days

Later I was able to put out seed for Violas and transplant some of my seedlings. Here are some pictures:
Yellow Pear Tomatoes, Garlic Chives

Garlic Chives and Sweet Marjoram

Dill, Patio Tomatoes, and one Celebrity Tomato

Also cut some of the Forsythia to bring inside for some color. They should start to bloom in the next 5-6 days. I am so excited about Spring 2009!
