SPRING?

Sunday the 20th was the first day of SPRING or so they say.
We were covered in a blanket of white 24 hours later and woke up to a winter wonder land.
Hoping Mother Nature gets her act together and stops snowing down on us and starts warming the earth so gardening will be on time.
I like to spend my birthday May 30th in my garden planting veggies but I get the feeling it maybe more like June this year.
In the photo above is my veggie garden area still covered in at least a foot of old snow and now 5 new inches since the first day of SPRING!
By now I usually have my veggies such as tomatoes and peppers started in doors from seed but I've decided to hold off till April due to Mother Nature playing her games.
But I have started a few flower seeds in doors and they are doing very well.
I've tried to post a photo but for some reason it won't up load.
I guess SPRING weather will come soon enough but I have a hard time waiting around , when I know there is a graden under all that snow just waiting to be tilled and planted.
With food prices going up daily , a garden would help us save alot of money and once its planted I have to stick close to home to care for it , which means I'll be saving on gas money as well.
Looking foward to SUMMER , between planning AmyRoses baby shower and gardening , watching over my mom as well as my job at the church I'll be a busy little bee :)
