How does my garden grow?

All dress up in my gardening clogs

Pretty good considering the up and down temps, rain and my late start. But I'm keeping my hopes up with little seedlings coming up my garden. Thinking of getting a couple more plant to put pots to round out the line up.

So far the weeds are doing the best. Tons of wild strawberries in the lawn. They are green so I leave them. The berries are much bigger than last year, maybe they will taste better.

Spring has Sprung at my House

Testing out camera on loan by friend. Want to get some shots of our food to put up in the window in the front. Need to get use to shooting with it first. Here's what sprung around my house. It's a beautiful day
