Very Early Spring Garden

We had some incredible weather on the weekend – warm and sunny – so we took full advantage and did a little work in the garden.

Mostly clearing out the dead stuff and pruning.

It looks so much better.

The tulips are growing.

The daffodils are blooming.

And I can see some green shoots and buds on my hydrangeas. I am so excited to see these bloom. We planted them in early summer last year, missing their flowering, so I cannot wait for them to burst into color this spring.

As for the vegetable garden, the garlic I planted in the fall has shot up, and we did plant some spinach seeds on the weekend. It will be at least a month before we get any more plants in here....after all, this is Canada and we could very well still get frost.

I cannot remember ever being in the garden so early in the year....it feels really good to have a head start on things.

What also feels good is having sore legs from all the bending and reaching that I did.
