Columbine is up
The columbine is up in front of the house - just a little bit but noticeable.
A hyacinth is up in the driveway bed, but the grape hyacinth aren't doing much yet.
Crocus under the oak tree are done. No crocus in the bird bath.
Dianthus is coming back in driveway bed and in bird bath area! I think I want to get more of this, I really like them.
Peas are about an inch high on the south side of the house, not much showing for peas in the garden yet.

spring is happening
I can really see the Valentine's Day radishes coming up well.
Under the green house, I drowned some of the little starts. Today I took the cover off for the rain to get in!
Under the living room window some of the peas that I planted are coming up!
Some of the lilies are coming up on the south side of the house, but not yet next to the driveway.
The daffodils are are looking great :)
Forsythia is looking great.
Many (like 6 or 7) purple crocus are blooming under the oak tree. None in the garden with the bird bath yet.

Valentine's Radishes
Valentine's Day, Feb 14, 2015
I planted a 1ft x 1ft square of radishes today. The ground was pretty easy to work this morning though it's supposed to get yucky.
I probably need to water the greenhouse but I'll wait until our next Arctic blast.
Seeing more and more daffodil tips coming up.
Radish planting (not much to see)

Seeing some leaves peeking out
Last week I saw some hyacinths peeking up and one little daffodil leaf breaking through!
I did not dig up any of my gladiolus bulbs this year just because I was lazy. We will see if they come back. One of the reasons that I didn't dig them up was that last year we had a really really cold winter and some of the bulbs that I missed still came up and bloomed!
I'm thinking that I will plant some spinach and put the shower door over the box garden this week!

Beets!
I picked the rest of the beets on Saturday...I'll probably have enough for a couple of pints of pickled beets.
I ate a green bean from the planting in August. There are lots of blooms so I could have some beans if it stays warm enough. 10 day forecast is pretty warm, but there is lots of rain possible.
Used tomatoes in chickpea cauliflower curry yesterday. Have some more yellow ones that we can pick if we want to eat some.
Didn't have too many tomatoes to put up that were not given to us, but had enough to definitely eat and use for every day cooking where I would have used a can of them.

Still picking brocolli and tomatoes
This morning I picked some broccoli and three red tomatoes. Still to harvest - Brussels Sprouts and tomatillos.
The green beans that were planted in August are flowering nicely. I'm sure that the water earlier in the week and the rain today will help a lot.
The beets really need to be picked.
I harvested the black beans and after shelling them have about a cup of them.
I bought two containers of flowers from Lowe's for .25 each and they seem to be surviving.
Mums are blooming.
