Our garden patch needs to be rototilled before I use it. Our neighbors is in the shop so instead of spending money to rent one we will just wait and start the garden a few weeks late. I hope to have it in right after we get our last frost or around there. I was a bit to excited though so I tore some dead plants from planters I found last year and stuck 3 spinach seeds in one and 2 kale (or chard- I can'r remember at this moment). It is serving as a reminder that seeds will sprout if planted. I still can't get over that with so little work one can get yummy food. I planted the seeds a while back and it took them an agonizing 10 days to germinate. I figured they were dead the whole time and the whole garden thing would be a bust.. then they came..first two little leaves forming a V and now the first set of true leaves are there. (Did I make that term up? Well the first set of leaves that actually look like spinach are there). It is a small start but at least we are that much closer to a garden fresh salad , or sauteed greens or whatever our menu fancies.
