Someday I'll talk about knitting...but today is not that day!

Between school and work and seedlings and exercise there hasn't been much time for knitting. I'll get a week off between spring and summer semesters...so maybe I'll get something accomplished then! A girl can dream! :)

For your pleasure, today I have more photos of seedlings! I also have a photo of the outside flowers that didn't make it through the last three snowfalls we've had since I took the pictures. Springtime in the Rockies means you never know what kind of weather to expect, and the last two weeks have been pretty dismal...cloudy and gray and filled with snow and mini hail!

Deer poo! The lawn is covered in it!

The Rose Bush

Pretty Flower!

Sweet Bell Pepper

Cherry Tomato

The seedlings!

I might have gotten a bit excited with the seedlings. Let's hope they last until June 15th when I can put them in the ground! Also, if anyone has any advice on what to do with that rose bush - let me know!!!

Hope everyone has a great week, and hope the weather gives us a few days of sunshine!

Springtime in the Rockies

Not only have I been playing with seedlings and the back yard, Matt and I have also started our Peet's Hill walk/jogs. Since I started last year never imagining I could jog at all and ended the summer jogging up the hill (albeit very painfully) I can't wait to see what happens this year, since I jogged down the backside yesterday already! Woohoo! I can feel it today in my abs, and am ready to head out again very soon!! We took some pictures on the first Peet's Hill walk last week, avoiding most of the muddy shots!

Clouds and Mountains and Trees, oh my!

Someday I'll know what mountain chain this is

Me!

Things are Growing Outside!!

No really, I was surprised too...but I went in the backyard yesterday and found these hiding under some dead things I probably should have cleaned out last fall (except Smokey of course, he came by to say hello while I was investigating)....

Growing!

More to clean up yet!

Full Flower Bed Shot

I have quite a bit more cleaning to do, and I need to amend the soil yet. Hoping to get some good work done prepping the garden in the next few weeks. In the meantime I'll keep patiently watching my little seedlings grow bigger and bigger!

Asparagus!

Variegated Cat Grass

Not quite a seedling yet...but working on it!

Huge Huckleberry!

Spring is coming!

The winter has been a little crazy - I headed back to school, picked up a second job, had my wisdom teeth out and got the flu. I came to my senses and dropped the second job, got healthy, and for the last few weeks have been working on my garden plans! I even planted a few seeds, I might be a little early in that regard, but I just couldn't help myself! Here are some pictures of what's to come in the garden this year:


 Garden Berry Huckleberry, since Huckleberry is so huge here in MT I thought I'd try to grow it. I hear it's incredibly difficult, so I checked my package and sure enough, this seed originated from Africa. Let's hope it's easier to grow and tastes the same!

The biggest of my five Huckleberry seedlings. 

Asparagus! Yes I'm starting a patch from scratch. Here's hoping we live in this house long enough to enjoy it!

Asparagus today!

Asparagus last week...

Blueberries! I know we won't live here long enough to enjoy these, but I might try to container grow them inside. This was more of a "Let's see what happens!"

Blueberry Seedling

And a special indoor treat just for the kitties - Variegated Cat Grass that popped up less than five days after sowing...and  when I say popped up, I mean last night there was nothing above soil level and this morning they looked like this:

I'll try to keep you updated as I get more seedlings coming up :)
