And so the season begins.
This is Munki. She was in with the chickens and trying to figure out how to get out. Crazy kitty!
Thanks to this handy, old tiller, it was time for reworking some of this ground for spring.
So, we tilled in the old beds.
Out with the old, and in with the new. We're planting some Bells of Ireland, flowers that will hopefully be ready early spring. It's kind of an experiment, so we'll see how it goes!
This is one of our Larkspur beds, which will be a nice greenhouse crop this year. Last year they weren't ready until after Mother's Day, but this year we are hoping they come right on time.
This one was originally a spinach bed, but the larkspur from last year reseeded and took over. We decided to sacrifice what little spinach was left in there, like that one leaf that you can see, to let the flowers grow.
This is ranunculus finally popping through the soil. It's a new spring crop for us and we're really excited about the beautiful bouquets it will make.
I found another one! So plural, would it be ranunculi? It's just so nice to see things sprouting. It gives me hope on these dreary winter days.
