Can't Wait to Garden Again

This has been a long cold winter and I just can't wait to get outside and garden again. That is great exercise. Usually just a plan to mow the yard on a weekend will turn into four to six hours of working in the yard and I have burned up some major calories doing yard work before.

Last summer was just too hot and most everything burned up before it could really be enjoyed. We have had a lot of rain this winter and I am hoping that will help to have a great garden. Really what I have is garden spots and I will plant tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beans and then flowers, flowers, flowers. As you can see it is the flowers that I love. I had some seeds inside sprouting now under grow lights and when those get big enough to move to little pots I will start some more tomatoes and flower seeds.

I will have tall flowers, short flowers, waves of flowers and cascading flowers if all goes well. I just can't wait for the Spring to spring. In the mean time I am working on chopping up some weeds and trying to get them out of the way so the ground can dry out and I can get out my little tiller and mix up some soil.

This makes me excited about life - plants that come from live seeds and grandchildren! There is nothing better. Well my kids are pretty good too!

When I am working in my yard I don't think about eating. And, if I am really working it burns up the calories fast. Try out this great way to make the world more beautiful and build some strength.

Have a good day.
