Spring is almost here

Category: Life; | Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2011 7:53 am

hi gardeners! Spring is almost here, hooray. It does the heart good to look out and see your daffodils, tulips etc. blooming. We actually had snow here on the or. coast a couple weeks ago. We never hardly get it and it was so pretty. I was a little afraid for the flowers and herbs, but they look pretty good. I am so ready to be outside working in the garden. I planted for the first time last yr. brussel sprouts, cauiflour and broccoli. It was so fun watching them grow. I have to say it does taste MUCH better when you grow it yourself. The taste is so much fresher. Since we don't have a long growing season here I am going to try black plastic or maybe tires around the plants? Something to help speed up the growing process. I love our weather, but it's not the greatest for getting real hot. I went a little overboard on my tomato seeds. I have 24 plants so will be giving away lots of tomatoes! I planted fragrant sweet peas last month. They were my Mom's favorite flower. Can't wait to see them blooming. Am going to get some Sunflower seeds and also plant them this yr. They have some really pretty ones. Everyone have a great day, will write more later.
