Spring has finally sprung!

Well, after a very long winter in New England, we are finally enjoying some warmer weather, which means its veggie gardening time!  I still haven't committed to a spot to make a permanent garden in our yard, so this is my second year of container gardening. 

I planted lettuce and sugar snap peas about 2 weeks ago and already we had a full salad of lettuce last night with dinner. I planted Boston lettuce and a Bistro mix, and both have taken off like crazy! I have had to bring them in most nights (and some days) when it was below 40, but they are loving life so far!!

The snap peas are growing slowly, but steadily... Although getting them to climb their bamboo posts is harder than I expected- unruly little tendrils!

Here's a couple of pics of the plants, and the amount of lettuce we cut last night!! Can't wait for Memorial Day weekend to plant all of my other veggies!!
