Let the planting begin...

Spring is in the air, even with these little silly snow bursts we had this week. These are the veggies I am planting this year. Some will reside in the greenhouse. Others will go into the raised garden box I will build on the bank. (two kinds of lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, cantaloupe, corn and cabbage...might be adding some carrots, peas and green beans - not sure yet)


Flowers that I planted today
These will go into hanging flower pots and into a flower bed next to the house.

This is the coolest strawberry planter in the world
Just waiting for Home Depot to have strawberry starters.
15 holes...

Need I say more...I have two of them (buy 1 get one 1/2 off)


The whole sha-bang from today...notice the blueberries in the back - starter plants that will be going in along the side fence. The little pots in the center I purchased a couple of months ago because they were so cute I was afraid they would be gone by the time I got ready to plant. Not sure yet what will end up in them, probably flowers or herbs. Put lavender seeds in for now.

The milk carton was a gift from a friend - Jerusalem Artichoke

Final note...we also put in a sliding glass door dog door today...Nikan and Bruno figured out that they could go outside but waited at the front door to be let in - one step at a time :-)

The dog door can only be open when we are home as the moose (multiple) like to wonder the neighborhood...
