Little Gardens

Spring has sprung!!
At least it sure felt like it today.
I was sitting at the table doing a bit of sewing and decided it was to nice out to be inside.
So out the door I wandered.
Just look at what was out there to greet me...
So I ventured a little further in the yard to see what else was out there.
 Hmmmmm...
I was so tickled to see these tulips?lily's? sprouting up that I decided that I should clear away all the dead from last year ( I was slack last fall! ), to help make way for this year's flowers.
Well... I ended up with more work than I bargained for!
( Zeus helping )
But the end result was worth it!
Needless to say I still have my work cut out for me. 
But just to see this bit of gardening started made me feel wonderful.
This weekend is supposed to be very nice and now I'm 
looking forward to continuing on with the yard work.
There is a lot of it too!
This is going to be our veggie garden, very exciting!
It might not look like much right now, but we have high hopes for it.
We plan to grow the usual suspects, potatoes, turnip (rutabaga), maybe corn 
and such other things. But this year we will be growing Purple Carrots!!
What are you planting this year??
Let me know :)

  1. Look'in good. What I wouldn't do to see plants coming up right now. You just wait till you guys come here. Next week is suppose to be nice though, hopefully it will stay! I still have 3 and a half feet of packed snow in the backyard. Make sure that the kids pack their snowsuits!
