First Day Of Spring!

Well, it finally happened. Spring is finally here!

As if on cue, tiny spinach and pea seedlings greeted me as I examined the raised bed I had planted two weeks ago. Their delicate bright green shoots were enough to make me beam with delight.

First pea to sprout.

The weather was perfect for working in the backyard and I heard lawnmowers running all over the neighborhood. I was able to fill one of the small raised beds along the garage with soil and fill it with heirloom seeds.

I may have been a bit too crazy enthusiastic due to the spring equinox. Peas, carrots, parsnips, kale, spinach, corn salad and lettuce all made their way into the 1'x5.5' bed.

So many seeds!

I can't wait to see how they do.
