Veggie patch all planted for spring

After being so late with my Christmas cards and newsletter (ok, I never actually got round to creating the newsletter this year but ....), I'm actually ahead of the game with my vegetable patch. I used the little tiller machine which we bought at the end of last year, to do all the hard work and then Romay and Sawyer helped plan some lettuce seeds. I doubt that many of the seeds were properly planted in the rows but they had fun doing the job and its great for them to learn. Because of frost danger, we can't plan the tomatoes until the first week or so of May, but by then the first of the lettuce crop should be ready. I'm not holding my breath though!! Now, if I could just get some grass to grow and survive the summer, well, then I'd be happier than a pig in a mud bath.
