We have sprouts!

Well, we've already learned a few lessons since we started gardening.

For instance, even though April 15 is a good day to plant things in our area, this year the weather is freaky and we really should have waited... the past two nights had frost warnings! It's almost May! Mr. Weatherman said we are 18 degrees below what we normally are this time of year.

We covered our beds with old blankets, and we didn't have much frost damage. One plant lost a few leaves, but otherwise they seem fine.

We got lucky.

And look!

Our purple green beans are sprouting! Woohoo!

So far we have marigold, lettuce, and purple green bean sprouts. It looks like we'll have some yellow green bean sprouts before long, too. 

I discovered stickers on Photobucket. I think I was having a little too much fun with them.

Behold!

Mystery Dog!
