The seeds (Tomato, Eggplant & Artichoke) I planted last weekend are already starting to germinate! Not much, but just poking through the potting soil. Yea!

The weather was so nice I hoed the garden and planted the 1st row of peas.

I have a large pile of leaf mulch, courtesy of neighbor Rick, to put between the rows once the garden is set.

The ice on the pond in the background is melting rapidly and the redwing blackbirds and Canada geese have been checking it out.

The crocus and daffodils are flowering. The bees are already checking out the blossoms.

“Cullen Underfoot*” was also checking out the blossoms and bees.
