Getting out in the garden

"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt."
Margaret Atwood

Ahhhhhh, finally getting out in the garden after the winter is wonderful. Tilling in some lovely manure from the lovely horses on the farm.   Preparing the garden beds for all the future veggies and flowers, blissful.  We decided to get out a plan (hopefully) do our best to sort of stick with it. With our plan we do companion planting putting veggies together that like to hang out and putting in flowers here and there that help with ucky bugs and attract the good bugs.  We are expanding our herb garden this year which is very exciting, getting in some potatoes and with the help of many sweet lil' hands from the farm class creating a kids sensory garden.  So much excitement for sure.  Though, I am slightly put off from all this SNOW we are getting this April into May.  I remind myself how wonderful this moisture is.

The worms oh how we love worms in the garden.

Seeing the start of those sweet lil' sprouts brings so much excitement for what is ahead.  Such wonderful times planning, digging, starting to plant and watching sprouts start to emerge from the soil.
