A Good Crop

We started our seeds really early this year, like the very first day of March, because we are ready to get outside! Plus, this year we have our little greenhouse that we purchased last year around mid-April, which was a little late to start actual seeds.

The boys really enjoyed playing in the dirt in the house!


It was a little weird planting seeds with all that snow in the yard, but we were ready!

Now we have some good-looking plants coming up!



Various tomatoes, various onion, garlic, broccoli, spinach, various peppers, some flowers, cat grass, and the kids each planted their own sunflower. We'll plant more variety into the ground when planting season comes, if it ever does!

Most of the snow piles are finally gone, but we still have our Christmas lights up, and a lot of other people do too, since we've had only a few opportunities the past couple of weeks to take them down! We'll it's almost Easter, maybe we'll just "red-neck" it this year!

  1. What a great idea! We tried to do a much smaller version of the greenhouse thing years ago. It didn't work out very well. Glad to see your plants are already thriving. Now if the weather would just get with the program . . . :)
