By the time I was done repotting a huge array of plants, I didn't have the energy to clean up the crazy mess. This is only a snippet of the disaster; it's ten times worse on the porch and backyard.

After last year's heartbreaking failure at growing this plant, I'm ecstatic to announce my first ever harvest of spinach! Most ended up in my niece's little belly though I did get to nibble on a few leaves and let me tell you it was worth all the trouble I went through. Nothing is comparable to the taste of fresh vegetables that you tended to day in, day out.

What's left of my babies, but...

...yay! The field spinach seedlings have popped out. They took their lovely time to show themselves, nearly three long weeks.

Had a little accident and all the six week old chubbies came spilling out of the pot. Curse my clumsiness!

Here's a look at the orange part of the chubby seedlings.

Four went back in to the pot, while the other four were placed in the ground. Both groups are doing just fine : )

Took forever to get the gailan and napa seedlings into their new Dixie homes. My quest for neatness is quite time consuming ( -.- )

Same for the one month old Nantes Coreless carrots.
