I have the garden planted now. Hooray! You might be wondering what all the white bags are for...well, I'm too cheap to buy that many wall-o-waters for the tomatoes, so I used a garbage bag over the tomato cages and put a cup of water inside each one to prevent freezing. So far it's worked really nicely. It's like a little greenhouse inside, and the plants are sheltered from the wind too. And yes, I may have gone a bit overboard on the tomatoes, but my children love them, and this year I am determined to have enough so that David and I can taste some too.
The hanging baskets I started from seed are doing well, and I found some honeysuckle vines for the 3 posts that don't have a clematis growing on them. I'm so happy to be outside again!

Spring is so good for the soul. Someday we will live in an area that has a longer growing season. The trees here are just starting to think about swelling their buds. But then, that's what they say about Elko...it has about 1 week's worth of spring weather and then it goes right into summer.
