First planting in the big garden...

We planted four rows of potatoes (Kennebec and Norland), one and a half rows of snap peas, one and a half rows of shelling peas, two varieties of carrots (Nelson and Danvers - one row each), and one row of beets in the big garden. We left two rows for beans to be planted later -- we're trying companion planting of the beans and potatoes to try to keep down Colorado potato beetles and Mexican bean weevil.

We're feeling so on top of things this year! Of course, that mostly has to do with the weird spring we're having so far. We feel so fancy this year, our row markers are made of cherry thanks to some scraps from Max. :)
