Are you getting sick of winter yet? Do you long for your first seed catalog in

I buy most of my seeds and things in shops usually rather than through the mail. I've planted some bulbs which have started to come up, miniature daffodils and Iris's. Though my tulips haven't come up yet they will hopefully come up later.

I have already got my first catalog. It was so great to look at all the flowers and imagine them in my yard. We are simplifying our yard and planting more bulbs and things that will keep comming back so we are looking for all new things. Someday my yard will look like one of the yards in the books!

I can't wait for the snow to melt off all my flower beds and I start seeing the first signs of spring! It can't come soon enough for me... I just love scratching in the dirt!My goal this year is to have a beautiful side garden with lots of flowers blooming all spring and summer.

I've already bought most of my seeds some from catalogs and a few from the store. There is still a few feet of snow on the ground here though and it snwed more ysterday. But I've got most of it planned out. Idon't know much about gardening, i was never able to have till last year we finally have ahouse with a nice yard. I think I was out there before the snow was even melted digging new garden beds! I was too excited, mostly just experimented and threw whatever in the ground. Still did pretyy well though. This year I want to grow more veggies and plant lots of sunflowers to try to attract more birds.
