The true signs of spring...

I always plant a vegetable garden, sometimes a big one sometimes not so big, but always something. This year some that I planted last year are already coming up on their own. I always leave something to die on the plant so this way maybe some seeds will fall off and plant themselves, just for fun.

This is mint starting to come up, to be truthful, you can't kill the stuff so it always comes back and double than the year before!!

I love fennel, I put it in my salad, it really adds to the taste. I was so happy to see this growing again.
The celery you get from your own garden is so much more tender then what you buy in the store, I also put this into my salads, and pot roast, stew, soups... but when I buy it in the store I only use the leaves, when I grow it that's what it mostly is. leaves and very thin stalks, perfect!

Franky boy made me a bird house and feeder, as soon as he hung them in my cherry tree we had tenants! I could watch them all day!
