Oh how I love the weather we’ve been having! I’ve been driving with the windows down. I’ve been sitting on my porch in the evenings.
Anyway, on to the plants!
My first attempt at Strawberries.
Also my first attempt at Onions.
My Swiss Chard survived the winter and has new growth.
My Arugula has already begun to flower! I really need to trim it back. It also survived the winter and returned with LOTS of new growth.
The Oregano has spread even more. I’d be glad to give starts of it to any of my local folks.
The Apple Bush is in bloom.
I love these little red and yellow flowers. I always dread the first mow of the year because they’ll be gone. They grow out near the back fence…
And on the front hill, which has spread to several patches.
The Peonies are popping up through the remains of last year.
The Daffodils are in bloom too…
Even this lonely little yellow one.
I even have a few plants inside. My Chives and Parsley have been going strong since last spring.
Every year, when I begin my spring planting, I find something strange in the soil. Last year, I found what looked like a tiny skull. One year, I found bones that look to be human. This year was no different. I went out to turn the soil today to get ready for some early spring plants when I came upon this in my garden box:
Yep. That would be a small black Pound Puppy stuffed toy. Note, I said Garden Box, meaning soil I installed myself last year. Which means that this appeared in the garden box sometime between November & today. This wasn’t just laying there, it was completely buried. I’m assuming that someone’s dog may have buried it there but it doesn’t look like a dog toy. At least not like what my dog’s toys look like; mangled and destuffed. Which leaves me to wonder is someone buried it there of the non-furry-and-four-legged persuasion.
So there you have it. This year’s edition of “What’s Hiding In Paper
Kitty’s Garden”.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve created a facebook page for The Crafty Kitten (my Etsy shop). I hope you’ll Like me!
