this past weekend was successful!

oooh...getting behind on the blogging - bad!

no, i didn't buy anymore trees for my "little orchard", but i do have 3 in mind. there was not much free time this past weekend due to super bowl eating/planning/partying, but i did get some things done.

1) i did more WEEDing. i had to. because,...

2) i planted all sprouting veggie plants. yup - broccoli, sugar snap peas, snow peas, various lettuces...the spinach hasn't shown itself yet, so that is still sitting in the peat pots (now that i write about it...i wonder where i put them...hmmm...(bad)

3) look upon everything else in the garden. that was the fun part! the almond tree - its starting to bloom! i forgot how beautiful and delicate its white flower's are! no green leaves, just blooms. the nectarine tree i planted 2 weeks ago, is also starting to show some color - the flowers will be PINK. very pretty! they haven't opened yet, but the buds are vivid. the garlic i planted 2 weeks ago are showing some green sprouting up - about 5 out of about 10 i planted. grape plants and the plum tree are still hibernating. (is that the right term for a plant?)

that's about it. this weekend, i plan to go to my favorite local nursery to look for my 3 fruit trees (an apple tree, a cherry tree, and a pear tree - all of which are self-fruiting). i also plan on starting more seeds. don't know if i want to start it indoors or just put it directly into the ground in the garden. we'll see.

im hesitant to start warm weather plants right now, since my other starts came out leggy. i just don't have the right lighting. so, i'll stick to the cool weather crops - more of what i've already planted. im also eyeing another garlic bulb we have that we are not using....
