Sprouts.

芽が出てきました。
ジェラニウム、メロン、ミニトマト、あさがお、かぼちゃ、コスモス・・・。去年の残りの種や、食べたお野菜やフルーツ、めちゃくちゃです。子供たちと植えたら、水やり係さんのおかげで結構な発芽率です。

Sprouted!
Geranium, melon, grape tomatoe, squash, cosmos.....whatever seeds that were leftover from last year, and whatever veggie and fruit we ate recently.  Something worked well here.  I guess this water-man didn't forget to spray water every morning and night.

毎年、種を買っては実らなくて、「もう買わない！」と思うのに、店頭に種が並び始めると、また買ってしまうんですよね。
これはラディッシュ。子供達に、種まきから収穫まで自分達で育ててもらう事にしました。生で食べるのは苦手みたいだけど、自分で育てたら食べてくれるかな？

Every year, I get upset that things doesn't grow well, and I blame it on the seeds. But, it is hard to resist the seed section of the store.  This year again, I stood there, dreamed of our perfect garden, and then spend dollars for packages of seeds.   

The kids are sowing radish seeds.  I asked them to take care of this pot this year, which means from seed to harvest, so these radish would be special to them although they don't really like radishes.

これはね、アスパラガス。なんとも綺麗なグリーンでしょ。
去年植えた種が育って冬を越したので、地面に植え替えました。
アスパラガス大好きなんです。3年越しで来年収穫です。楽しみだな！

Don't you love these delicate leaves?  These are asparagus that I sowed seeds for last year.  I just recently  moved then from a container to the garden.  It takes three years to harvest, but it's fun to grow.  I can't wait!
