The Promise of Spring

The season starts with a dream and faith in the smallest seed.

Harbingers

Even after the harshness of winter, life prevails and surprises.

A pop of color.

Longer days and sunny skies bring a pop of color to brighten the early spring.

Wild times.

Even in the heart of the city, wild things abound.

Ephemeral beauty.

Some are visitors just passing through.

And they're off.....

With the garden still encapsulated by a ton of snow from the snowpocalypse of 2010....

It seems strange to have just completed planting of the very first seeds of the 2010 garden season. We're right at about 10 weeks out now from the last frost on May 5th... so time to get rolling with things like lettuce, peppers, and egg plants.

I also expanded and reconfigured the shelving units and lights to give more space for the forthcoming seedlings. I'll post some pictures once the little guys start emerging... right now all you'd see would be dirt!

Even with the nasty weather there's a certain satisfaction to be had in the first seeds of the season. Knowing that that one tiny seed will (hopefully!) yield a summer full of delicious fresh veggies!
