2007 Garden Analysis (this is a foodie friendly post)

Mrs. de-I is working away at the garden. We've had this string of warm days (in the 70's) about 10 of them. But it looks like it's going to end mid week and go to more normal temperatures (50-60's).

There are big plans afoot that if successful could provide yours truly with lots of material for the kitchen this summer and fall. First she's got the colder weather veggies already in or near in. This includes cauliflower and broccoli. Then she's planting carrots and beets. We've had great luck with carrots. Beets will be new.

She took out (or I should say had someone take out) a big ole tree that was falling over and now that we have much more sun coming in she's thinking of putting in a dwarf fruit tree. We're leaning towards peach since it is so hard to get a good peach in the stores. That'll be peachy (ha, ha, ha - I'm such a wit)

Finally, our neighbor (who is also from Minnesota meaning she works like a maniac) is in negotiations to garden with Wife since the neighbor has dogs who ruin her yard. This could mean all kinds of different veggies. Could be a good year for the Pewter Chef.
