greenhouse is up, seeds are a-planted!

The greenhouse is up and operational. It took my two construction worker friends a whole day to put it together. The instructions weren't terribly verbose (read, not at all), and none of the pieces were labelled, so it was like a 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. Totally crazy. But now it's up and looks terrific:



While they were working on the greenhouse, I decided to risk any remaining days of frost we have left and plant some seeds in the square foot garden. Parsley, cilantro, bok choy, mesclun lettuce, green onions, petite carrots, golden beets, broccoli and radish were all planted in there. I planted the radish because I think they come up first and are easy to grow. So it'll give me something to watch while the rest take their time coming up. I don't particularly like radishes, but this might give me an excuse to dig up some gourmet radish recipe. Braised radish with a light saffron-creme fraiche sauce or something?
