We had .31 in of much needed rain yesterday, the grass is really green and we will need to mow soon, the trees are getting leaves. I decided to plant mixed greens and carrots , and next week I will put my row net that Brad and Nikole gave me over the rows to further bunny proof .
Always amazing how after being inside all winter I can't wait to get out there and plant things and play in the dirt. The rhubarb that I transplanted last year all came up but the plants are very very small and the rhubarb stalk is just a little thicker then match stick. I hope that during this summer they will continue to grow and get bigger. I will just borrow rhubarb from my sister. I like to make a pineapple / rhubarb jam and then Nikole has a REALLY good strawberry / rhubarb cobbler recipe and I want to make that at least twice! Strawberry shortcake.
I have been thinking I might go to MN for strawberry picking as the ones I picked down here last year were not at all good. I also have used all but 2 packages of Blueberries so that means a
field trip to WI. in July .
Now just need to wait for about 6 weeks and I will have fresh salad greens.

I have tried again to change the blog name, I hope I was able to accomplish that this time.
Sort of spring up and down temps, I am ready to plant my garden but I must wait a few more weeks. We borrowed the garden tiller on Mon. and that all done. We made it bigger by about 4 feet, and also tilled a small area in " clover pasture " for my pumpkins , then they can go where ever they want.
My garlic that I planted last fall is up , but not all of it made it , so I have soaked garlic cloves over night and will plant those today.
The tomato and Kale seeds that I started in the house are growing, getting a second leaf on the tomatoes so I will add more dirt to the little cups.
I am still missing Mars and it has been almost a year. We seemed to have been adopted by a
"cat", he lays in the sun in barn stalls and runs inside to hide if we get close, we call it Barney .
