Yesterday, I bought several types of flowers to add to the garden. I also fell in love with a young mandarin tree and another callistemon shrub which we added to our basket because they were so affordable! There were many varieties of vegetable and herb seedlings on sale for spring, but I couldn't allow myself any more of them after planting so many from seed.

Anyway, my neighbors who share our garden woke up excited by spring today and visited the same store. They built another vegetable bed and helped us with our chicken run. They planted seedlings of carrots, cauliflower, spinach and corn.

In the afternoon, we picked up the chickens from our friend's house and when they arrived at our house we opened a bottle of champagne with the neighbors and celebrated our new arrivals and the day's hard work.
