The greenhouse is up and it sure is bigger than I remember it being!  I am most excited-now the fun can really begin.  Because I have planned succession planting, seeds won't all be planted at once.  The brocilli, califlower, cabbage, brussel sprouts and then the cucumbers, squash and some flowers.  I don't have my seed packets handy so I don't quite recall which flowers are started first-more on that later.

The Brocolli, Califlower and Cabbage are all small head varieties.  I purchased the seeds from Park Seed Co. because I had great success with some squash seeds purchased a few years back that were for compact gardens.  The plants were within the two feet the description gave and produced an abundance of fruit.  Since I haven't grown anything in this family of veggies before, I wanted to set myself up to be successful.  I have purchased other seeds from them but my only veggie experience with them had been the squash.

Once there is something to see, I will journal with photos-once I figure out how to add to my blog.  The greenhouse photos were added to my albums for now.

The new lasagna beds have the first three layers; three of the flower garden beds are cleaned up and one side of the tumbler is full.........and cooking!   It was nice to be outside puttering around in the yard, if I thought I had spring fever before.........I was wrong, only now there have been some participation in spring activities so I have a better sense of satisfaction.

The thermometer in the greenhouse said 65 this morning.  I was thinking that wasn't too warm-but it is no different that inside the house!

All in a days work...................in the garden--I am smiling.
