With last night's frost now in the history books, I believe that I can safely put plants on the deck and put the flower pots outside! I've got a couple of new raised beds for vegetables that I am ready to start and a couple of container plants to add.
Plus -- I have flowers!
I am thinking of re-doing the downspout flowerbeds this year. I'd like to add rain barrels at the downspouts, but I don't really know if it will be worth it. It's a cool, self-sufficient kind of thing that I don't really need since we are on a well. I'll probably redo them without the rain barrels. I am looking forward to being outdoor active once again.
Also, with the warmer nights in the mid 40s (7c) and up, I may be out on the deck for a night or two. I doubt that Groucho the cat is ready for sleeping on the deck at those temps!
Tell me -- What is your favorite part about spring?
Or what are you looking forward to in the coming weeks?
I am looking forward to gardening, going to a few baseball games, and getting the kayak out and onto the water somewhere.
