Finally!!! The Spring Garden

What a long, hard winter!  I finally think it is safe to put some spring vegetables in the ground even though there is still to be some freezing weather again next week.  I planted these same vegetables last year, but a whole month earlier:

18 Romain Lettuce ( I was hoping my Dad would take some, but he didn't want them. I guess we will be loving some Cesar salad wraps this summer)
Here is the row of Romain and one row of Cabbage

18 Broccoli  (I plan on freezing at least three batches, maybe four, of broccoli cheddar soup for this winter.)
9 Brussel Sprouts (These are a hit or miss for me each year.  I either have enough to blanch and freeze or I get one handful to add into stir fry.)
9 Cabbage (Once again a hit or miss.  Two years ago I had enough to make my first batch of Sour Kraut and canned 4 quarts.  Last year I only was able to make cole slaw twice for BBQs where everyone had to bring something.)
and a handful of Spring Onions.
I have no idea what is in this bed.  Camilla was helping my dad plant and they are all over the place. I'll just have to let it all mature..."Surprise, I'm Broccoli."
