I planted onions this week, and started some other herbs from seed in pots (I'll transplant them later).

I have tulips coming up and crocus blooming now. My dafodils are budded and ready to burst open in bloom.

Spring becomes dearer to me each year. When I see these early blooming flowers it does something for my soul -- spring will arrive once again, and warmer/better days are ahead.

I go outside every day and examine my flower bulbs. From the time they break through the ground until they bloom, I watch them like they are my offspring or something, and really do get excited watching them grow.

I've had a rough winter, especially the past few weeks, so it does my heart good to see this. I love spring, and I love digging in the dirt, witnessing a seed grow into something for the dinner table. It just makes me hopeful.

Gotta plant me some garlic too. I use a lot of it cooking.

I just moved to this property last June (too late to plant flowers or a vegetable garden). I did plant a lot of bulbs last fall, the ones that are my beautiful babies now.

P.S. -- I also have some healthy deer that come for a shelled corn dinner every afternoon :) If they start eating my flowers (my herb and a few vegetable garden is fenced) I will probably not enjoy their company as much :)
