This month is just flying by.
February can be a hectic month, especially for seed starting. Some of our very first seedlings to emerge are- believe it or not- artichokes. This was one of those 'projects' where we wanted to see if we could actually grow artichokes in Iowa. We'll find out... but I'm pretty determined. Adam introduced me to roasted artichokes drizzled with butter and since then, every now and then, we'll buy one at the grocery store.
We also have herbs planted but those seem to take a little longer. In the next couple of days, we will be sowing the cool season vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and more. As Spring gets closer, then we will be starting the tomatoes and peppers (my favorites!).
I'm so ready for the taste of some fresh, straight from the garden Iowa produce.
In the meantime, we'll have to tide ourselves over with some canned goodies like the pizza sauce, salsa, and pickles from last year's gardens.
Let the craziness begin...
