Green Things In The Garden!

My first winter in North Dakota was not a fun one.  It was long, cold and very, very white.  This winter is another story entirely.  We have been having very nice weather, especially as of late.  So nice in fact, we have weeds already.  We covered the garden plot with straw in the fall to protect the compost we trucked in and spread around.  All this nice weather warranted removal of said straw and so outdoor garden season begins.  I will say that the addition of straw to the entire garden will not happen again, not the most fun to remove.

When I removed the section of straw over the garlic patch, I was very pleased to see many of them poking their lovely heads out of the dirt.

Same for the strawberry patch.  Very exciting!!!!
