Spring is finally here!!!..... well kind of

I'm so happy it's April! I've been waiting since October for spring to arrive. It's my favorite time of year because I get to start my garden. I feel like a more complete person with my hands in the dirt. Some people get sun light deficient disorder in Seattle.... I think I get dirt on my hands deficient disorder (and sunlight deficient too;) I've probably been to hasty, like I am almost every year, and started my seeds too early but I can't help myself. I get so sick of the rain and cold, that the first sunny day that comes along leaves me with terrible spring fever and a hundred seeds started on my windowsill.

I ordered seeds from Territorial Seed Company this year. Here are the seeds that I ordered this year:







So far I've got my peas growing in my garden and I've sowed carrots, swiss chard and beats. Beats are a new one for me this year so we'll see how that goes. On my windowsill, I have tomatoes, broccoli, and lettuce growing.





Jasper is finally old enough to really, really be able to help me. We had a little date on Saturday and he pitched in and pulled weeds and sowed seeds. He's been hugging trees alot lately too- makes me a proud mama :)
