A Little Behind

I've been so behind on this blog. I have so many pictures of the garden to post but it has not been a priority so it has not been happening. My spare time has been focused on digital scrapbooking, reading, running and working in the garden. I've built new garden boxes and two trellises and added several planters. I'm still working on another trellis for the pumpkins. More to come when I get the pictures organized.

Welcome Spring!

Spring officially started about a week ago and we were welcomed with about 6" of snow. My kids were so disappointed that they had to be stuck inside the house on their first day of spring break. Luckily, the snow melted away and we had a pretty decent week.

Last week, the weather was so nice and warm for early spring. We had Emily's two little friends over for a playdate and they spent most of the day in the backyard. I gave them each a plastic bag and they ran around the backyard picking wildflowers and weeds. If only we could appreciate the simple things of life like these little friends.

While weeding the large garden bed, I noticed that the spinach seeds I planted last fall had actually germinated. I was suprised with three bunches of spinach plants. I have not been in the backyard since the blast of snow and rainfall so we'll see if they are still there.
