It's that time of year...

It's that time of year again.....oh how I love to garden--dig my hands in the dirt, watch tiny seeds sprout and grow to glorious green plants with vegetables or flowers crowning their beauty.

I told myself last year that I wouldn't start seeds indoor this year. But, I just couldn't resist...when the stores start stocking the shelves with garden supplies and garden catalogs arrive in the mail, I fall prey to the gardening bug. I just can't help to delve into the dirty fun of playing in soil, setting up the grow lights and wait eagerly to get outside and start the peas, lettuce, carrots and other spring veggies.

This year, Barry and I plan to expand our garden. Barry purchase a tiller last year and now we'll start tearing up the ground in our garden plot. I'm also adding more trees--plum, bartlette pear, golden delicious apple and black tartan cherry. Along with more raspberries and two blueberry bushes, I hope to one day fullfill our fruit eating needs. (Except banana, to bad I can't grow banana's here.)

I've added more asperagus, rhubarb and I hope to find some artichoke plant and try to grow them.
