Today was finally nice enough to get some seeds going. Because of the aforementioned work, our raised bed had to be moved and re-filled, and it broke in the process. Waiting for that to get repaired before I can direct sow any cold weather seeds. Saw this site over the winter and thought I would try starting some seeds in eggshells to not have to disturb the roots as much when it is time to transplant. So, we've been eating a lot of eggs :)
Here's a list of what's to come...
Tomatoes- Roma, cherry, Rutger and beefsteak
Yellow and spaghetti squash, pumpkin and zucchini
Watermelon
Peppers
Cauliflower
Cucumbers- market and pickling (hoping for a great crop like last year so I can make lots of refrigerator pickles!)
For some reason I'm not feeling as excited or optimistic about the veggie garden this year. I think it may have something to do with all of the work we have to do in the flower gardens, and the fact that I was a bit disappointed with our harvest from last year. Hoping that moving the bed to a sunnier spot will help.

Love the egg shells. Last year our cucumber crop was a bust, usually we're swimming in cukes. Recently I've been introduced to cucumber water which is very refreshing, so I hope to have ample makings for it. Jo @ Let's Face the Music
