I just love this time of the year. A reminder that winters over. I've been thinking I should plant some peas or lettuce soon. Though the soil is quite wet. We get alot of rain in the winter. I just found your blog and am enjoying reading it. I also am Mennonite. Have a blessed day!Rhodanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-44609701295240057452011-04-08T10:54:26.475-04:002011-04-08T10:54:26.475-04:00We've eaten our first dandelion, but no aspara...We've eaten our first dandelion, but no asparagus yet! It's a cold, late spring. I like to eat the seasons and think of people in the past who, like you said so well, were overjoyed at the "firsts" of each season to break the monotony.<br /><br />My husband just built our first raised bed. We are going to plunge into gardening. We don't know a lot, but we're going to ask a lot of questions.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-76801610283978852612011-04-07T11:21:20.310-04:002011-04-07T11:21:20.310-04:00I am jealous of all the planting and signs of spri...I am jealous of all the planting and signs of spring you are enjoying. We live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and after a long winter with record snowfalls, the snow is just beginning to melt. Even the geese are slow to return and when they do there is only the vast whiteness of the remaining snow. But we know spring will come, it will just take longer this year.Annettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-49539718488027669572011-04-06T15:25:55.824-04:002011-04-06T15:25:55.824-04:00I guess you all can be jealous of me:) Im from GA ...I guess you all can be jealous of me:) Im from GA and we have fresh strawberries already.

Our garden is still under at least another 10" of snow and it snowed again last night. Brrrrr<br />I have been outside a little, but only to pick up trash that has blown around the yard and even then I have to wade through the mud to do it. I know spring will come, but it is so hard waiting. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing a little spring with us northerners :)Mrs. Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703464320152527607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-43928286785229070132011-04-06T08:24:37.280-04:002011-04-06T08:24:37.280-04:00Gina,

Now I have tiny onion plants and I have no idea when to plant them!
