It\u2019s April 11, and by this time my lettuce, carrots and beets are usually in my garden beds.\u00a0 So are some of my herb seeds.\u00a0 Yep\u2014fresh produce growing in the spring sun.\u00a0 NOT!\u00a0 It\u2019s 32 degrees out and is snowing.\u00a0 Spring forgot to come to Nebraska this year.<\/p>\n

I am still hopeful.\u00a0 I have planted seeds under the grow lights at work for our child care gardens, and the beans and squash are doing well.\u00a0 The rest of the seeds are starting to come up also.\u00a0 So I guess I am not so far behind.\u00a0 How about you?<\/p>\n

I love gardening with kids, because they love to play in the dirt, and are more likely to eat produce that they have grown.\u00a0 I purchased seed potatoes from Menard’s the other day, and one of their salesmen told me which variety he recommended and even gave me a recipe that his wife uses.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t get any better than that!\u00a0 I am growing little red potatoes, because my family doesn\u2019t like Yukon Golds.<\/p>\n

There is great satisfaction in growing your own food!\u00a0 Last year we had a terrible summer with more than 40– 100 degree days and no rain.\u00a0 The forecast is for the same this year, so I am trying to plant heat tolerant plants.\u00a0 I would love to hear what you are planting, and any recipes you\u2019d like to share.\u00a0 Also, be prepared\u2014we joined our local CSA again, so we are looking forward to many new recipes for great summer produce!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
