SPRING IS HERE!

Wow! It's been awhile since I posted last. Drat that Facebook! =) Lol. 

I wanted to share how our cold frames are doing.  I planted a day or 2 after they were constructed.  Onions, lettuce & flower seeds.  My lettuce is doing great, my onions are iffy and the flowers are coming along.   
Cold Frame #1 = Onions & lettuce.  Some have sprouted, some have not.

This lettuce is doing fantastic!  I can almost taste it!

Tiny sprouting onions & lettuce.

All but one are coming along.

I'm not sure why only one side of the pot is sprouting.  

A wee more in this one but still growing mostly in one area.

This is the start of my new herb garden. It is on the back side of the house.   I'm very excited about this project!

I hope it comes out as I have it pictured in my mind.

Some of my Morning Glory seeds from last year's plants are sprouting in the raised beds.

They are everywhere!

My little water girl.

My lilies are coming back up!

TIME WITH DADDY

Tonight Dave & his assistant, Elvis embarked on their first project together. A cold frame! Elvis was very happy to help his Dad.

Two of my favorite guys.

Elvis measures the wood for cutting.

One more!

Posing with the lumber that they bought at Lowe's last night.  They used some new & some scrap that we already had in the pile.

Daddy taught him how to use the drill for the first time.


This time he used it by himself.  Daddy was right by his side.

Our boy is really growing up!

They took a break for supper & then went back outside.  By that time it was dark so they used the light from the shed.

The first cold frame is completed!

Such a silly boy! Hee, hee! =0)

Aren't they looking proud!  Great job, guys!
