Welcome to my garden.  I hope you will follow the path with me this year.
It's March!!  That means that garden season is right around the corner.  WhooHoo!!  I can hardly wait to see that first crocus and my new tulips and daffodils.  A friend asked if I had shoveled my garden off yet.  Yes, some years I actually do that.  I get so anxious to get into my garden.  First I have to dig a path to the garden then I can start shoveling off the three feet of snow.  No I have not even made it to the green house yet but very soon.  I am placing raised beds in my green house this year and following the Square Foot gardening method.  I live in the mountains and have a very short growing season, forty four frost free days if I'm lucky.  Therefore I use my greenhouse for beans, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers.  I have lettuce growing in the house under grow lights along with tomatoes and spinach.  I hate store bought lettuce so I try to grow lettuce year round. 

Even though it is a little early.  Happy Spring and welcome to my garden.

  1. I can feel your anticipation! I did giggle at the mention of shoveling your garden off. We've had so little snow here that the daffodils are 5-6 inches tall with buds on them.

    Wonderful post, Bev.
