Athough I still have 8 to 10 inches of snow on my garden it is definitely spring
here! I have 7 lambs on the ground (a month early) and song birds are
returning. So far I've seen red-wing black birds, pine siskins and a sparrow.
And finally the gardening bug has been gnawing. I bought some seed starting
flats and starter mix at Wally world the other day and a couple packages of
seeds.
I've also been kicking around the idea of going out to scrap the snow of some
garden areas so I can get my garlic planted asap.
