I have my seeds started indoors. I have snow peas and spinach planted out side (not convinced it’s growing, though). My perennials are popping up. The sun broke through the clouds for a few minutes the other day, and I was able to start a few more seeds and put up a bird feeder.

It’s beginning to feel like Spring. But I still have a problem: last year’s vegetable garden plot is not big enough to hold all that I have planned for this year. I started digging up some extra space, but it has turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated. I’m basically digging up part of my lawn, by hand. It appears I should have planned last fall and done this then. Oh well, too late now. I made some good progress today and have most of the grass dug up. Tom will be putting my fence in soon, I hope!
I left work an hour early today and got to enjoy some extra time in my garden – while the flowers were still open. The ground-level tulips and the daffodils are blooming. Check out these beauties!
I can't remember the name of this variety, but it is a type of tulip! |
I've always loved daffodils. |
It was very nice to spend some time outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine! Sunshine makes me happy. And so does playing in the dirt, for that matter!
I know rain is good for my plants, but it’s been a little extreme lately. At least there are rainbows!
