After a year of bad garden juju in 2010, we are particularly excited to greet a new year at the South Sound Garden. Last year's weather led such garden disappointment we stopped posting altogether in disgust! But all the time not spent in a depressing garden gave us a little time to attend to other things:
We are tickled pink to be expecting a baby girl in late February. Since babies aren't candidates for solid food until they're about 6 months, and even then very simple veggies and grains, we're planning to plant baby-friendly produce and freeze whatever gets harvested before she can eat. The good news is many baby-friendly favorites are easy to grow (even in a crappy year!)Baby-Friendly Veggies
Carrot
Parsnip
Peas
Pumpkin
Potato
Squash
Zucchini
Baby Friendly Fruits Already Growing in SSG
Apples
Berries
Cherries
Plums
We picked up this book from Williams Sonoma on cooking for baby and it has a lot of good tips on what/when/how.
Happy New Year!
