Today I started sowing my early outdoor seeds and it started snowing while I was out there. I hope that this weekends weather was just a cold snap and that it will begin warming soon. I made a new pathway and 2/3 more small rock garden beds. Yesterday I planted some bulbs that I had bought for indoor viewing pleasure (2 hyacinths and 2 tulips).  I don't know if that is what I was supposed to do with them, but I just wanted to get them in the ground before it got too warm outside.   

 If anyone knows of a website that I can find out my official zone could you let me know???  I have such a hard time figuring it out.  My garden book has it's own "special" zoning and it doesn't help me any when I am looking at flowers in catalogs that have the normal zoning numbers.  So, if any one can help I would be so grateful!

 Also, how do you know when the "last expected frost" date will be each year??

Well, I will update my progress as I go.  Soon I will have pictures of my garden and some of my flower too.
