the garden gets going!

after doing a little plant shopping yesterday after work with mom, Thor and I scooted home after work today to do a little planting! we decided it's more fun to plant the garden together, because you can be a bit more relaxed in your pace which makes it more fun, and less like a hurried after work chore!

here's what we got in the ground today:

raised bed:
-Italian bush beans
-roquette arugula
-rainbow Swiss chard
-new Zealand spinach (apparently not a true spinach, but we're going to give it a try anyways!)

flower bed:
-"tango" dark red geraniums
-Alaska scarlet variegated nasturtiums (mounding as opposed to the horrible trailing ones that I accidentally planted last year and almost took over my back yard!!)
