THE GARDEN IS STARTING TO GROW
Last weekend was the first really warm and sunny weekend of the spring. We were drawn outside by the weather (at least on the Sunday...Saturday we were in an arena watching Elli play hockey). We did our traditional cleaning up of the yard and the garden. It is amazing how much garbage and random bits & bobs get buried in the snow over the winter!The exciting part of all this clean up was the green. Yes, the green! Green leaves shooting from the ground, from the raspberry canes, from the trees...

| Here come the raspberry leaves again! |
 |
| The parsnips we left in the ground over the winter are still alive and growing! |
This day had me thinking about last year's garden. I had a few pictures uploaded onto the blog, but, never really got around to posting them. Last year we tried a few new plants, had success with some old favourites, and completely forgot about digging up the parsnips!

| FIRST CHERRY EVER! |
 |
| First time we did corn, and it grew taller than Elliott! |
 |
| Can never get enough raspberries around here |
 |
| A few zucchini grew |
 |
| The corn was fun to watch grow |
 |
| Peas, the plant that never made it into the house - eaten by roving children |
 |
| Too many cherry tomatoes! |
