The Veggie Garden patio is starting to come to life. Pots are being filled, umbrella is in place and seeds are anxiously waiting for planting.

Its been a few days since my last post. Due to the weather there simply just hasn't been that much happening other than the general cleaning that is a constant in all gardens.

Luckily it seems that Spring may have finally settled so true work begins.

The first section of peas are in as well as the first pot of snow peas. Today I planted "Autumn Torch", a chinese cabbage that is wonderful for its tender greens and Tokyo turnips. I'm hoping for a white turnip variety close to what I planted in the U.K.. This Japanese variety looks promising.

Green onions are shooting up (time to put another row in) and radishes are starting to leaf out with the warm temperatures.

I lost my brassica starts with the freezing temps. No surprise there and next year that should not be a problem with the small green house and plastic row covers. My pots are showing with Spaghetti Squash and Courgettes with hints of more pushing through.

The floral end of the garden is starting to show marked improvement. Lilies have been planted and we are slowly but surely improving the soil in starts. Little D (our very British Dog) is having fun with outdoor time.

Tomorrow will be another day of planting veg and celebrating Spring.
