Happy Spring!

Happy first day of spring to you!

Enjoy this beautiful day!

The garden is ready!

Yesterday, I finished cleaning out my garden beds.

They really weren't in bad shape.

I just needed to clean out some leaves and a handful of tiny weeds.

Mostly, I added some compost that has been cooking since last fall.

This is the third year for adding compost to the spring garden,
and I am so happy with the crumbly soil I now have.

This is the first time I have actually drawn up garden plans.

As I was adding the compost, I noticed some tiny sprouts of rhubarb.  Yum!

Planting early spring seeds,
we soon hope to have some yummy peas, spinach, lettuce, and arugula.

I think I will  plant some more peas next weekend to have a later harvest.

(Won't be long until we see little pea sprouts!)

Love this time of the year!

Smiling Narcissus

 Getting rid of the old, dead plants from last fall gives this area a whole new look.

The narcissus are smiling!
