My first successful plants from seeds!

This is a picture of one of my baby acorn squash plants that are getting transplanted into the garden later this week. I grew them from seeds! Previously everything I have planted in my garden came to me as a small plant either from my dad, the store, or from my friends Evan and Jane who manage an organic farm in Healdsburg called Home Farm. Without their excellent advice these little guys would never have had life. I can't wait for them to grow! Home grown acorn squash is one of the most delicious things I've ever had from my garden, second only to Paul Robeson variety heirloom tomatoes. Yummy.

Here's a pic of my spring harvest of garlic and red onions from babies provided by Evan and Jane. They grew greenery all winter long and then bam, as soon as the warm weather came around their bulbs grew almost overnight. I'm going to make sauteed kale with garlic, onions, and a little bacon.
