What a glorious day! I have been sitting at my kitchen table reading the newspaper, listening to Let's Talk Gardening, and enjoying the many birds that are chirping and flying past my window. I have had a Blue Jay hanging out for the past couple of hours and there's another bird that bobs up and down when he chirps - tried looking him up in my bird book, but couldn't find a name. He was kind of non-descript in color (grayish). Anyways, it has been a lovely morning to just sit back with a cup of coffee and enjoy. The Easter Bunny arrived sometime in the night, but the eggs are yet to be hunted, as my daughter is still fast asleep! aaah teenagers....
As promised, here is a pic of one of the containers of veges that I planted at Spruce. This one will be a nice decorative display of multi-color lettuce. These are just plastic containers from the garden centre, filled with potting soil and seeded on April 2nd. That means they were up in one week! How easy is that! I also have beans, corn, beets and carrots. Since my last seeding attempt ended in untimely death, I am cautiously optimistic about this venture - but its actually very exciting! I can realistically see many people having these type of vegetable containers outside their back door this summer, growing their own veges and herbs on a sunny patio.
It is time to hunt for eggs - Grace has awoken...
Hey...just looked out my window and guess who was there...
