Sunbathing

After a long winter...not as long as y'all up north, I certainly understand...I tend to forget how good it is to get my hands in the dirt. This weekend was so very nice and although I was only in the garden for a handfull of minutes, I remarked how much I missed it.

I took the little seedlings outside to sunbathe and they seemed to enjoy it.
I decided also that the entire other corner yard would be dedicated to herbs etc. There's some garlic in the left front bed and I planted some horseradish in the right front bed. That's something I've always wanted to do.

There is a rotten, rogue bird that I keep catching pecking in those boxes over there. He already uprooted one of my garlics and I think got a horseradish root. I hope he chokes on them.

I did, however, pull two broccoli from the garden yesterday, but whereas they looked pretty, they were pretty rotten underneath.

The time will come, and soon! that things will be growing. I'm starting some potatoes in the kitchen already and in the next week will put those broccoli, lettuce and others in the garden to make room for the tomatoes. Amazing how when the season starts, it startes with a vengeance.

The morning comes early. Sweet gardening dreams (Wow! It's been a while since I've been able to say that!).
