PAINTED FENCES "THE NEW CLEAN LOOK"

I really "HATED" the color of my backyard fence!  So While "hubs" was away in New York, I decided to spruce things up a bit.  I decided to paint my fence.  I loved the clean fence color over at TOOTSIETIME'S BLOG.  Love her Blog!  So I decide to change mine to something similar.

HERE IS THE BEFORE......

YUCK!...

It just seems so gloomy.

AND NOW HERE IS THE AFTER!! 

 I JUST LOVE IT!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Looks so much cleaner!

Now on to the next project!!

Have a fabulous day!

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!

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!
