Baby plants

 

I thought I should post these pictures of baby plants because they are all growing up so quickly! We have a greenhouse full of plants in all their stages, and a cold frame outside filling up with flower seedlings and then the very first cold frame inside our greenhouse where the seeds that really need to be warm to sprout start out. We are always planting or transplanting something! Not to mention watering.....It's good to see green!

This week finally felt like spring had arrived. I heard more birds, the fields are greening up...and the weeds are sprouting up everywhere! Today we had sunny weather in the 60's, yeah! The boys wore sweatshirts instead of coats and spent all day playing outside with Rita and Coco. They were very exhausted by the end of the day. But what is better than a day spent riding bikes, crawling barefoot on the straw bales, trying:) to fly a kite, visiting the neighbors' as they put together their new garage/house, climbing trees and any combination of being with someone working on the farm putting up a greenhouse, transplanting greens into a greenhouse or planting seeds, etc, etc. Oh and then walking the dog of course, wow, no wonder they were exhausted! Posted by Picasa

  • WOW!!!!!

    Thats the word that I will use to describe you!

    First thing first, CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!! I really don't have much time to actually sit down and go through blogs, but today was unique. Got home, and was tired, but somehow my instinct told me to check out blogs.

    Secondly, thanks for your kind words in my blog. Thats was really nice of you!

    Yeah, weather here have been really encouraging lately. It felt like Spring is almost over, but out of the sudden, the temperature dropped.

    Well, I will stop here. My eyes are closing on me. Again, congratulations!
