Garden Diary 2009: My First Sprout is Up for this Year – Broccoli or Spinach?

Maybe you can tell me by the leaves. I am just not sure at this point. This is either Broccoli or Spinach. I planted six spinach plants on one side, planning to leave the leafy greens inside the house so we can clip off of them for salads a couple times per week. on the other side of the windowsill container I planed four broccoli plants that I intend to transplant next month, a couple weeks before the last freeze. I want to get small greenhouse or try to build a cheap one to cover the plant till after the last freeze. Broccoli is supposed to be cold weather hearty so I don’t think it really matters when I put them outside.

I did plant these on two different sides of the windowsill growbox, but I really don’t remember which side I planted them on. To be Honest, I suppose it doesn’t really matter to me which side they are on. All I really care about is that my first plant is up for the year of 2009. This means it is going to be a great year for vegetables in my garden. I am so excited.
