April fools with us each year -- yesterday, Heidi watched old snow melt while new snow fell.
It's nice, though, once the snow melts back enough to reveal the garden. We have a six foot by 20 foot garden in our backyard. These plants (above) are our heirloom shallots. They're already growing!
In the summer, which is so close we can taste it!, we're in the garden at least an hour a day. Our cats patrol for bugs, we clean out weeds, and we water when we need to. We have a large herb garden, and almost all our summer meals have some sprinkle of backyard rosemary, oregano or thyme.
We'll have more pictures of our garden as the summer rolls along.
