It's Spring!!!!

 I built a small raised bed today from a kit I purchased at Canadian Tire for $49.95. Just built the box, marked out the square on the grass & got my son to remove the grass with a shovel. The square was filled with 3 large bags of earth and 2 bags of sheep manure. I have some of my own compost that I think I will add as well. The square is only 3 ½ x 3½ but it will be enough to grow a few vegetables.

I also love to start a few seeds indoors...mostly because I am impatient and I can't wait to get something planted. I have a few different varities of lettuce started on our window ledge. The "grand rapid" variety started to sprout in 3 days...my kind of seeds...lol
