Spring Has Sprung...Indoors Anyways...

While the snow still falls outside, Spring has arrived in our seed trays.  We've started a few pepper and tomato plants, hoping to get a head start on the vegetable garden.  The sprouts are a welcome sight after a long winter that lingers.  At this point, I can't tell the tomatoes apart from the peppers, but the pots are marked so that we can keep track of what's what.  I enjoy watching them grow daily, and lean into the sunlight at is moves from east to west throughout the day.

Have a very Happy Easter and a wonderful Spring season :)

Veggie Patch In Urbania

Thanks to my hubby's green thumb, our garden has produced a delicious variety of veggies this summer. Every year, we find that some things work better than others, only to be surprised the following gardening season with a twist to that theory.

In our northern climate, the conditions are ever changing, so we've stopped speculating about which vegetables to count on and simply grow things for the sheer pleasure and element of surprise. Here's a peek at what we've gotten so far:
