2013 ~ LOOK WHAT'S GROWING SERIES - CLEANING FLATS, SHELVING FOR SEEDS, TOOLS SHARPENED, BLUEBIRD HOUSES, STOCKED GREENHOUSE & GARDEN BEDS...WHEEEEW!

Today I'm going to combine a bunch of posts in one so that I can catch up on what's happening now.  
I have been taking lots of pictures,
 but I have been so busy getting ready for the growing season that I haven't had time to post them.   
So here goes....

- Cleaning of Gardening Pots & Flats. 
I washed all my garden flats and pots in my kids bath tub...eeeewwww!  It was a MESS!!  I was too lazy to do it last year--Note to self, after plants have been moved into the garden, clean them OUTSIDE..always!!


- Setting up indoor shelving with light for seedlings. 




- Shelves filled with my new growing seedlings!


- Sharpened all of my gardening tools, shears & everything that needed to be sharp!


- I built two Bluebird houses to see if I could get some birds in my garden to eat the bad bugs.  Houses are up....no birds yet!


-I stocked my greenhouse with a few more flats, vermiculite, peat moss, compost, & yes, I course, my PINK HELLO KITTY radio I acquired from my daughter (she doesn't use it anymore).



- started preparing my square foot garden beds for this years crop.

So far this is what I have been up to for the past couple of weeks!  Busy, busy, busy.
Lots happening,  
I hope to be more organized for this years growing season.
Until later!
Bug Hugs :-)

2013~LOOK WHAT'S GROWING SERIES ~SPINACH!!

I'm starting my 
2013 - "LOOK WHAT'S GROWING SERIES"
~~~~

Look what I have left over from last years garden.  
SPINACH!  
(My very first winter garden)

I cut some for a yummy spinach salad yesterday and it was so yummy!  
I can't believe it lasted all winter!






It's so nice to have fresh homegrown salad so early in the season! 
More to come!
Happy Growing!
