I had green onions today fresh from the garden. Homesteading Mom fixed me some pinto beans to go with them. ;D Delicious!! Makes makes my spring fever spike!

Anybody else eating fresh from the garden or greenhouse? Let us know what you're eating from yours.

You rock dude! ;D Good list! Hope I can get the greenhouse built soon so I can extend our season. Started to make a cold frame last fall but hoped we would have sold the house by now. I hate being in limbo!! :-/ Anyway, tell me more about your indoor set up.

Nothing special about the set-up inside...the plants are in clay pots in south facing windows with reflective Mylar draped behind to make better use of the available light.
