| Before cleaning up |
This week in the garden I've been working on cleaning up the paths and edges of my raised beds. I do a little work each day so I don't hurt my back. I accidentally hurt a worm while I was digging one day as it was close to the surface. I wonder if that is a sign of an early spring?

| After |
We took down the chicken fencing a few weeks ago and are working on getting what used to be the chicken yard ready to plant. We need to put up fencing for the peas.
 |
| I have a lot of work to do back there! |
The spring bulbs have been green since fall, but they are looking more promising now. We had a crocus flower this week but my little boy picked it so I can't take a pic to show you. I wish I had planted bulbs last fall. Maybe this year. Many of the daffodils I planted three years ago have gone missing and some of them never even flowered last year.

| After we fix the hole, she makes it bigger. Anyone want a dog? |
Our dog dug a hole in the lawn. Bad dog! We have been watering the grass about once a month on a warm day. Hopefully, it will be nice and green soon.
All of my pansies disappeared. I don't know why. I'm waiting as patiently as possible for more to be available at the store.
The buds on the trees are swelling. Every time I think spring will never get here I look out the window at the trees and know that there is hope.

| I think this is Dragon's Breath Sedum. It adds color all year and is easy to divide and transplant. |
How is spring coming along where you live?
 |
| Dianthus is cold hardy in our climate. |
