How quickly things change...

Only weeks ago we were covered in snow.  And now...

I've got flowers planted

 Seedlings in the window

 Dinner on the deck as weather allows

 The trees are blooming and slowly getting their leaves

 I have two full beds planted with cool weather crops like lettuce, carrots, parsnips, and chard.

And, we've been working on these new beds.  I had originally posted that we were using pallets, but we quickly realized the amount of work to do this exceeded our planting time and we still need soil delivered. So, the pallets were put aside for future project (that I won't mention in case we change our minds yet again), These get the most sun and will be our tomato, pepper, sun loving beds. The space between them and the hives have been seeded with wildflowers. I can't wait to see how everything progresses.  Oh yes, and we have our bees!
