In the Garden . . . the first signs!



I am so ready to be gardening this year!
It was 76 today so I did!!
In our part of Ohio we should wait until Mother's day or so
to set out tomatoes and the like.
This I find so difficult!
I'm just not good at that kind of patience!
Luckily . . . the asparagus is already starting to grow.
Some even a couple feet high. Another lesson in patience . . .
I can't cut it all till next year! Most asparagus takes 3 years to mature,
so I bought 2 year crowns. This year I can cut a little, and boy has it been
amazing!!
I do have potatoes, onions, garlic, lettuce, spinach & peas in!
And truth be told . . . I couldn't wait,
I did plant a couple tomatoes so I must watch for frost
warnings!
Mid May can't get here soon enough for me . . .
THEN I can really finish planting . . eggplant, peppers, more tomatoes
squash . . . yum...yum...yum !!!

May you have a wonderful
"Dig in the dirt"
day!!
