Spring has Arrived!!

Well, the flowers are up and the weather is warm. Spring is here!!! YEA!!!
We have been in the 50's during the day despite some rain. No freezing temps at night. My seeds are doing really well.

The Giant Bean has been transplanted into it's own pot. I did that several days ago. We then hit Home Depot earlier this week to get some planters for the deck and potting soil. The idea is to plant all this stuff on the deck since the deer are so eager to eat anything I don't want to spend the summer fighting them! So, we checked out both Home Depot and Wal Mart as they are right next to each other. Potting soil was a better price at Wal Mart. But, after getting some we took a gander at Home Depot. BOY, AM I GLAD WE DID. They were cleaning out some stock and i found flower boxes for $2.50 down from over $8. Well, I grabbed 10 and was talking to this guy who worked in the department and he said, Oh, I have some smaller ones - they were $1.00 each so I got 8 (that's all they had) and we loaded the car (which was full of stuff from Wal Mart) and went home. And, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had LEFT SOME BEHIND... yes, they had more of the larger size. So...... back to Home Depot and YES, they were there... so I loaded them in the cart - all 8 of them. And, spied some square pots with the same pattern in the corner and checked their price... they were $1. so I got them too.
Well, I'm swimming in pots..... and we got more soil too. But, you can't crowed these plants and one of the smaller was filled with 6 of my lettuce plants. So, I don't think I'll have any trouble filling them. I was outside working this afternoon and plan to continue tomorrow. I'll take some pictures and post them later. This is fun and we will eat well this summer!!!

And to top it off, we had gotten some whirly gigs this winter and here is the fish - so cute. And maybe he will scare off the deer.
