Your raised beds look wonderful, especially to my outdoor green-deprived eyes. I’m totally envious that you can garden all year long. Snow is still thick on the ground here … but soon, soon. Hope all’s well with you!

Got most of my cold crops in (o.k. about half), and Mary Ann, Carol and I started up our letters to each other and other gardening friends again. Hoping for a continuous and early spring. A girl can hope can’t she?

Here in Edmonton we’re still under snow…but the sunshine we’re supposed to get today will probably melt a little of it away and I’ll be a little closer to planting :-)
Love your cover crop – do you typically plant one every season?

that’s stunning. how exciting. i really need to plant a cover crop as well, but i have so many exotic seeds that want to be planted, i just keep popping them in the soil whenever a tiny patch opens up. maybe i’ll get one going after the next round ripens. anyway, this looks lovely. thanks for sharing. weird about the weather up there! nice for gardening, though. :::

That bed looks lovely!

We are just gearing up to plant our very first vegetable garden – so excited about that. There are cover crops (clover) to turn under, then we’re ready to plant!

Wow, your veggies look wonderful. It may inspire me to try to grow more veggies this year. I usually stick to floral stuff. We have been so lucky with our mild winter this year. Especially after 2008’s nasty spell of snow and freezing temps killed off more than a few of my perennials.

Wow, that’s so great what you were able to harvest over the winter! I’ve definitely been thinking about my little 5×9′ plot, and when to start. I stuck to very easy things last year (carrots, beans, tomatoes, zucchini) so looking forward to increasing the level of difficulty this year! We only built them all as a group last Spring, and we got started a bit late (end of April). Is mid March the ideal time to start planting, even though it’s so warm right now?

My garden is still just a thought…at this moment buried under two feet of snow. Yours, however looks lovely!
