Enjoying the weather!

This weekend and our recent weather have just about made winter a distant memory.


 As you can tell by this weekends' pictures, we mostly worked outside each day.

 We got the raised beds ready for planting.
 In fact, Greg sowed some lettuce, radishes, and carrots in one bed.
 I added some parsley and cilantro plants to the herb bed. Looks like the chives are back!
 Here is our sunroom where I started a few zucchini and squash plants in pots.
 Hopefully this is the just the beginning of a great summer garden. We are still going to give it a few weeks on everything else. It will be nice to harvest our fruits and veggies and not worry about the chemicals on them. We have several flowers growing in the border around the house.
Think this is called a Sitka Rose.

Will have to wait and see what kind of flowers it produces. We are now over at 15 hours of sunlight each day and everything will really start growing now.
