Garden Time

Today we planted celeriac.  It's a relative of celery, with the same flavor, but it grows into a big root like a turnip that you cube up into cooking.  Celery is really hard to grow in Idaho, although I've started some just to try.  Celeriac will have a better chance of getting mature before the heat hits.

It suddenly occurs to me that it's March 10th!  Ack!  I need to get onions started too.

Those lettuces we started in January are big and producing well.  We are regularly eating salad now.

My ten-year-old twins are studying magnetism and did a cool experiment. First they set this up, a magnet pulling a paper clip up but a thread preventing full contact.  Then they put different things in the empty space to find out what could disrupt the magnetic field.  Now that is science!

It has dried out a little and we'll try to get out into the garden today.
