Last weekend, February 3rd to be exact, we planted our early spring garden.  We put in broccoli, red cabbage, rhubarb (mmm, strawberry-rhubarb pie), swiss chard, brussel sprouts and onions.  This week, I’m going to plant Irish potatoes in tires which helps not take up as much space in the garden since it takes until June for them to be ready.  I planted garlic in late October and it’s going well, looks like we’ll have about 16 heads.

It’s been really mild here lately so I’ve been jonesing to plant stuff and last weekend helped scratch the itch.  In another 30 days or so, it will be time to start thinking about summery type veggies.

We’ve been doing some pruning here and there and we’re going to redo a significant section of our back flowerbed once we get our new wrought iron fence in because several of the plants don’t get enough sun.  The fence will make the yard look a ton different and we’re both excited about it.  I’ll post pictures when the fence is up.
