It's April 9th and it's 79 degrees out, I just HAD to get in the garden today! I had to run to the feed store for chicken food. They had all sorts of starts out so I picked up some onions and strawberries. I cleaned up the strawberry bed, the ones I planted last year are coming back and spreading real nicely so I added 30 more plants and hopefully they'll take! Here's the bed all planted, I need to get more straw for a ground cover.

| Doesn't look like much now, I know! |
 |
| Look real close you can see some green in the dirt! My garden needs a lot of clean up. Last fall, my husband was very ill and I never got to do my fall clean-up so a lot of grass and weeds were able to take over. Hopefully we can get the tiller out this weekend! |
 |
| I grow cukes and zukes in the bed with the frames---it worked out very nicely last year! |
 |
| Ugh, a lot of work is needed in these beds! |
 |
| Chives are coming up again---looks to be another bumper crop! |
 |
| Garlic is coming up! I planted these last fall, they'll be ready in early July! |
 |
| The tomato beds from last year. I'm not sure what's going in here yet---probably potatoes this year. Tomorrow, I'm going to take some of my compost and spread it on the strawberry beds! I love spring!!! |
