April Fools Day and Spring is Playing Tricks on Us plus Indoor Garden Update...

It's the first day of April and spring had poked her head out for a bit but today she decided to play a trick on us and it snowed.

I'm sure it will truly be spring one of these days but in the meantime I'll just enjoy the lovely scenery all highlighted in the white of snow.
I hope you can enjoy it too through the photos I took...

Needless to say I won't be getting out and planting in my garden any time soon

April 1st and still Deep Snow on this Garden Plot

That being said I have started my gardening season with tomato and pepper seedlings started indoors and I have been doing indoor gardening this year with my new indoor Gardening Project.

In spring when I visit the greenhouses and see the pots of lettuce ready to pick for salads I'm always tempted to buy them for I love my fresh greens but I could never bring myself to pay such a price for lettuce which is so cheap to grow by seed. I prefer to be patient and wait until my garden lettuces starts to produce.
Well this year I have my pots of lettuce already producing (and they have been all winter) so I won't have to wait or pay a big price!

The fig cutting I took last fall are sure taking off now and the rhubarb Swiss chard (that I dug out of my garden in the fall) has produced all winter long.

My herbs have been producing well all winter too! I have mint, rosemary, thyme and basil.
I tried a strawberry mint this year that has a wonderful scent! I just love to rub it any time I walk by it. It's gone to flower now which are pretty too.

I'm so happy I started my indoor gardening project this year for the winter was really cold and it seems to be lingering on.
