We don't garden any more so it doesn't affect us overly much, but I am looking forward to picking up a couple of tomato plants to put on the balcony and perhaps some herbs too.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-42359426943075583382017-04-02T22:40:41.452-07:002017-04-02T22:40:41.452-07:00good to know spring has sprung for you.

I need to find new screws and attach it, without buying a new rake.

I also planted seeds a little bit earlier than normal. We tend to have a small window for spring crops and they have a better chance of growing before it gets hot if I can get them planted early.

I was planting by the book, planting schedules etc. however am getting better at going with the seasons and the current weather conditions etc. Working with nature is so soothing and really has made me much more aware of my surroundings.<br /><br />I also love the sounds of frogs. We don't hear so many these days unfortunately however I remember as kids they were everywhere. We could see tadpoles, hear frogs and were always out there amongst it all.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing how your seeds progress.<br /><br />KylieHome Is My Havenhttps://homesmyhaven.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
