Garden 2016!!!

Yeah, its way too early to really garden, but we did start some yard clean up and I planted a few things inside and potatoes outside.  This winter was rough on the yard...correction...Morrison is rough on the yard...

 Before our clean up started, a lot of those pink rocks were on the patio, and in the garden, and everywhere.  Even with no greenery yet this is a major improvement!

 A few fake flowers keeping the owl colony company--this view looks pretty good!

 A nice view that doesn't quite show the chaos that is the side yard--or the nicely budding peach tree--see better view below!

 Yes, out little red wagon still gets use.  In other news, Morrison likes to look through those open squares and keep an eye on the front yard.

 Ah, a better view of the side yard chaos...this is on our agenda for this summer..doing something to minimize the chaos...

 Budding peach tree--the only fruit tree that survived.  The apple and cherry will have to be replaced later this spring/summer--but was are still expected to get snow, so we're going to wait.  We think the peach tree survived because the out vent for the fireplace is right there...keeping it warm in cold weather!

 Potatoes in a bucket.....that is all I have to say about that.

 A little clean up in the secret garden--Morrison even got in there and dug some holes (grrr).  She also was carrying around my little blue hippo, so now it will live in the (hopefully more protected) garden.

 I told someone the other day about our pallet "bar"--here it is, with fresh spring flowers (fake).

 A few tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs, planted inside

 And some lettuce. Unfortunately, Alice and Morrison like lettuce.  At least they're happy.

And the gnome village has returned.  Mr. IM says "they have no cover!" (Interpretation...the neighbors might see we have gnomes...)

 St Francis (a birthday gift from my mother-in-law) and his racoon finally got to go outside.  Now Morrison can bark at him outside instead of inside.

And of course, the Purdue stepping stone that no one is allowed to step on and some green onions (there is garlic, too! So some greenery!)



Stay tuned...snow is predicted, but spring is coming soon!
