I think I turned the corner today on the vegetable garden.

Asparagus planted two years ago by seed is doing OK. Only 30 plants left from the 109 seeds sown and 90 tiny seedlings that came up, but weeds and an evil squirrel have a lot to do with the decline.

Brussels sprouts from seed are showing true leaves, a few are up to 3" high. Room for about 20 plants, but the are not evenly distributed in the bed. Not yet.

Broccoli from store-bought seedlings. Looking good. Bed holds 21 plants.

Today I got 5 pounds of "waxy red" seed potatoes in the fround. Ordered from eBay, they are called Red Pontiac. Anyone have experience with this variety?
