Beets me!

Pulled our first set o' beets out of the garden today. Peg made a killer salad with freshly plucked garden yummies and spinach. Unbelievably good. The fresh broccoli is out of this world, but soon to make way for summer crops.

Today I dug out the side of the hill with a little pathway to harvest future goodies: watermelon (2 kinds), cantaloupe (2 kinds) and pumpkin. Peg helped to dig the holes and mix in the good soil. The hill contains the crappy, clay-infested soil we replaced with organic soil a year ago and dumped into the yard. We're going to let the new crop just spread out over the hill. Probably keep a close watch on the pumpkins lest they end up rolling down to the bottom to be gobbled up by whatever critters happen to find them.
