What not so say to a gardener in spring

"Dear, can you wake up? I have to go shovel the driveway before work."

Signs of spring

Despite the desolate look of the whole yard right now, I have found the odd little sign of spring. The tulips are sprouting, the grass has the tiniest little green shoots and all of the snow is finally gone.
Today was the traditional easter egg hunt, and I happened to spot these tiny little hints of life.




I also planted garlic in my square foot garden. It took 3 squares to get it all planted and that is just a fraction of the garlic we consume in a season. I think I am going to need a new more raised beds to even accommodate all the foods we like.

By the way, if anyone actually wonders about the titla of this blog, my yard is so rocky that everything has to be planted in the raised beds. Get it? Dig up? Haha, yeah, it's awful.

Dig up, Stupid

This is my new blog. A blog of gardening, green renovations and trying to do it all with 3 kids in tow.

Today, my garden looks like this:


See that square in the lower right hand corner? That's going to be the vegetable patch. I have random bulbs popping up all over the place.

I really dislike the snow. I wish I could just will that stupid patch of it at the top away.
