The Dufresne Four: Garden Update

It's spring, heading into summer and my garden has taken off!! Yay! We've eaten some lettuce, green onions, carrots, cilantro and basil from our little garden and I have learned a lot for the next planting season! Like for instance, when my Dad comes over and says, "wow, that's a lot of plants in one small space" that actually means - you planted way too much! I have (sort of) learned how to properly thin though, so hopefully that has made my small little garden a little bit more successful. I also have learned that if I don't eat cilantro with each meal, and in copious amounts it's probably not necessary to allow all 6 giant plants to grow. I must also say that it feels very wrong to pull perfectly good plants out of the ground in the name of "thinning", however it must be done for the overall health of the garden...Here are a few pictures of the progress since I last posted
