Spring at the cemetery


We figured since Sunday which is Easter here, will be a little hectic, we decided to do the rounds at the cemeteries a few days earlier. We planted some daffodils at our grandmother's and father's graves. Every year we plant a few more at her's. Soon she will have a whole garden there lol. It's just very pretty how all the flowers come up at springtime here.


We just hope the chipmunks don't dig the bulbs up. They have been known to do that a few times. 


Planting today!

Today is a big day here. I started planting today! I am sooo excited. We have a few containers from last year that I planted leaf lettuce, radishes and peas in today. In about 3 weeks we will be able to harvest some of the lettuce and radishes for salads. Peas will be a little later. Then we will be planting broccoli, eggplant, tomatoes and our herbs. I am also going to try yellow bush beans. As soon as what I planted today sprouts I will take video and pictures.

Spring Time!



Finally Spring is here! I am sooo happy! This week I will be planting lettuce, peas and beets from seed. We have leaf lettuce, and bibb so that will be a good variety. I just have to get some pole beans, yellow and summer squash and maybe some carrots and flower seeds. I will probably upload a video by this coming weekend. So nice to get back into gardening.
