Spring has Sprung!!!!!!

I think Spring has finally arrived in the Bluegrass State. I am not sure if my sanity would have lasted much longer. Lots of stuff going on in the garden and behind the scenes and I feel like I can finally blog about important stuff. With a new season comes a new do. Everyone is getting bangs and so I had to get some too.

This my lettuce that we started indoors. We got three big cuttings from it and now I am going to see how it does outside. The cost was maybe 50 cents. Not a bad deal.

Same deal with the cilantro. It looks kind of terrible but I had just watered it. Mr Ladybug has more growing so we wont be out for long. We really love cilantro.

We were all ready to harvest horesradish when we realized our pot did not drain and all the root were a icky yucky mess. They sure didnt explain that on the website we used. We were able to save several sprouts, forked over a little extra money for a decent pot and started all over. Its not failing it learning, 

Chives, chives and more chives, These things have been covered in snow so many times recently and it doesnt hurt them at all. Anyone can grow chives. If you are looking for an easy first herb to grow this is your plant. Notice the upside down asparagus sign? Our asparagus have two very wet winters and just didnt make it. This year we will make this area a raised bed for better drainage and try again. Never give up!

Look at all the peppermint coming back! I see lots of peppermint tea and extract in my future.

Garlic looks great. We planted in November and it just grows. We had to put fencing on top because some really fat squirrels were trying to hide nuts and digging up the bulbs.

This is actually itsy bitsy thyme. It does and looks terrible but if you leave it alone it comes back.  Notice the cilantro sprout all by itself. Not sure how it got there but we will leave and let it do its thing.

Socks helps me in my gardening and chores. Hes such an odd cat. I guess he fits right in our family.

This ones hard to see but its sage. It looks dead to but gets new leaves and looks great, I take sage tincture every day. Its great for hormone balance.

This the spearmint. It doesnt look as hardy as the peppermint but its coming along great too.
