It was
Just don't mistake us as Packer fans.
All of the plants are still hanging out in the greenhouse. Too early to plant most things outside yet. As of last Thursday morning (before this warm weather arrived) we were still getting a frost every night outside. As much as I would like to get started planting in the garden, and there are a few seeds that can be started this early (carrots, peas); I don't like to rush it.
Everything is now out of the basement and wedged in to the greenhouse. It's a tight fit, but it's all in there.
I stopped at one of my favorite greenhouses the other day just to check out their selection and I couldn't believe how many people were there buying all of their annual flowers and tomato plants. They will no doubt be back next week when the stuff they bought gets left outside on a cold night and shrivels up. I couldn't help myself and bought a parsley plant and a pot full of tiny leek plants, 2 things I didn't start myself. When I brought them home, I popped them in the greenhouse...
Oh and some asshole bird shit all over one side of my greenhouse and the entire front end of my car. The Gardener says I should get out the BB gun and start taking them out...
The peach tree we moved a few weeks ago is doing very well and is budding like crazy. We'll remove most of the blossoms this year to give the tree a chance to properly root itself before being forced to produce lots of fruit.
I went through my raspberry patch over the weekend and pulled all of the weeds and thinned out the plants. I dug up about 30 little raspberry plants (mix of red and gold) and offered them to everyone I came across over the weekend. I even ditched one at a friend's house when she wasn't home. I still have a few left if anyone wants one. Come and get 'em!
My next project will be weeding the asparagus. The grass and dandelions are definitely crowding them so I need to get on this soon.
The rhubarb is now growing tall and full, if anyone wants any please come and get some. We have lots!

Just looking at those top photos makes me wanna sneeze!
My weeds are growing well! :D
Thanks to your advice my new plants are still alive as well.
You cracked me up about the bird shitting on your greenhouse. That's a lot of shit for one bird! Sure it isn't a family of crapping birds? :D
I think dandelions are so pretty.
Everything looks fantastic, but I think you are a little far for me to go for free seedlings and fresh produce.
Ooh! Look at all those dandelions! The old me would have looked at them and been overwhelmed. The new me looks that them and says...ooh! dandelion jelly, dandelion syrup...hmmm, what else can I make? ;)
Everything looks so good Ali!! You are right to be cautious. I really pushed the envelop this year. We had another frost warning last week so I had to run out and cover everything again. It didn't frost anyway. Then yesterday it was near 90. Such is Spring!!
BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!!!
That's a buttload of dandelions !!! OMG! Makes me eyes itch, lol.
How big is your garden anyhow?
Great pics, especially the peach tree. Send that great weather over here, will you?
Oh, my! And I thought we were battling the dandelions...
And that pic of the rhubarb made my mouth start to water.
