Happy Ostara!

Spring has finally sprung and we got a small dose of much needed and much appreciated sun.
Here's the weather on my birthday:
Yep, snow! And it snowed a little everyday for the next 8 days, as well as lots of rain, sleet, hail, and more rain. Then the wind came in and blew the living daylights out of everything not well secured, and it was cold. So you see, we deserved some sun.
How did we spend our first day of spring? We all went for a walk in the sun. Then, we planted of course! Anni and I started tomatoes, peppers, radishes, peas, beans, corn, cilantro, basil, eggplant, zucchini, sage, and pumpkins from seeds. We are already harvesting some over wintered chives and rosemary. Tomorrow, we're cleaning out the greenhouse. I love gardening season!

Signs of spring
Blossoms

and lots of green leaves!
