The sun finally decided to make an appearance in WA this week. We even had our first 70 degree day as a result. With spring in the air, I decided to get working on my garden and yard.

I made an intense Home Depot run and brought home quite a few items for less than a hundred bucks. Most of my time was spent pulling weeds and getting things tidied up. I swear I have spent hours and hours pulling weeds since we bought this house. The job never really ends.

Last year my tiny garden produced mostly lettuce, but this year I am hoping for a bit more success. My garden box is full of herbs (rosemary, cilantro, chives, parsley, sage, basil). I planted quite a few greens as they were the most successful last year (romaine, spinach, chard, kale). Broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, tomato, and onions are all planted as well.

My hanging flower boxes are full of seasonal flowers, and I even planted some California golden poppy seeds in my flower beds. I decided to pull some ugly bushes from next to our garage this winter, but I replaced them with a few varieties of perennials (to make next year a little easier).

I am sad (secretly glad) to announce that I have my first sunburn of the year (just my neck...missed it with the sunscreen). If anyone wants to donate a sun hat to my gardening effort it would be much appreciated :) Buckley enjoyed basking in the sun and chewing on sticks in the freshly cut grass. Here is to a fruitful spring and summer!
