Waiting

The onions are coming along nicely... I think.  One or two seem to be getting too tall for their little starter pellet thingies.  I suppose moving them to little pots is next.  Next weekend I'll start the lettuce and broccoli.

There are quite a few little sprouts in the front yard.  Still not sure if they're crocuses (croci??) or daffodils.  Still about 80% snow cover in the back yard; I'm getting very impatient.

Sprouts!

Wooo hooooo! The onions have sprouted!!

(The one that's missing in the upper left was looking a tad moldy, so I quarantined him.)

I am sooooo anxious for Spring to finally get here. Every time I look out at my still-snow-covered back yard, I just get more impatient... In the front yard though, there are some flowers poking up next to the mailbox. Crocuses, probably... maybe daffodils? We moved into this house during the last week in December -- right before all the snow fell -- so I really have no clue what the place will look like when it's green...

Spring will be full of suprises :-)

The First Seeds

The First Seeds

I don't like being late. It bugs me. Not that that doesn't stop me from procrastinating! However, I have managed to get my onions started on schedule.

This is my first "real" garden. I had a couple of container gardens when we lived in the city, but now that we're living in the "back of beyond" as my husband says, I am very anxious to get things growing :-)
