Have You Started Your Garden?

Here in Portland, the gardening season starts pretty early.  In fact, you could argue that it never stops.  I've been trying to budget my food expenses a bit more, so last week I decided I'd only eat vegetables that I already had, or that I picked from my garden.  Here is most of what I harvested for the week:

The orange globes in the background are acorn squash I harvested last year.  The big white roots are parsnips.  The leafy greens are cilantro, kohlrabi, kale and mustard greens that I planted last year - they survived the winter, along with the onion.  I don't eat a lot of vegetables compared to some people, but I was able to get some green in my diet every day last week, and it was all from my garden.

I already have some seeds planted in the outdoors and they are starting to sprout up.  I've planted carrots, basil, onion, fennel, chard, lettuce, parsnip, broccoli, kale and leeks.  I think I'll wait a few weeks before planting anything else, but I have these starts going indoors:

The big ones are lemon cucumber.  I have high hopes for these starts, in spite of the fact that I usually end up killing all my starts.  This year I abandoned the egg crate method and started the seeds in re-used plastic start containers from last year.  So far they are doing really well.  The greater volume of soil means that they don't dry out too fast, so if I forget to water them one day they don't just expire immediately.  I'll try to harden them off a little in the next few weeks so I can get them in the ground when they're big enough to transfer.

What are your gardens looking like?  Have you started planting yet?
