Spring has sprung

4/16/2015

While I do not like all the rain that comes with spring I do love the intensity of the colors that are a product of all this rain.  I went outside searching for signs of spring and the colors are just so vibrant and amazing this time of year.  I imagine that green cannot get any greener and one day in Heaven I imagine that all the colors may be like this, but even more amazing...all the time!  

So here it is...a few signs that I know this cold bitter weather is on its way out at least until next year.

I love my hostas.  I especially love the ones that are green with white edging, they always come up last (picture on left).  I love that they stay beautifullly green and lush all summer (well as long as the free-range hens don't decide to make salad out of them).

My chives are sprouting!  We just made hamburgers yesterday and I clipped a tuft to mix in with the burgers...yum!

My raspberry bushes are starting to spread and grow.  My 3 y/o saw this and immediately asked where the red bees (red berries) were at!  He remembers picking some for a fresh snack every day last summer.

Yes, I have started the garden.  So far I have a small amount of lettuce coming up, spinach is planted as is cilantro, basil and as you see above...sugar snap peas.  I began using the "Back to Eden" method of gardening last year and it worked so wonderfully that I plan on continuing it.  Want to learn more? HERE is the link to a free video.  It is basically the idea of using wood chips (not chemical laden mulch) to control weeds and keep moisture in your garden.  I had the most amazing garden last year that was also much less weedy then ever and a joy to work in.
