We worked this weekend on building some raised beds for our veggie garden. We've neglected veggies the past several years, but this feels like a good year to get back into it a bit. I find I miss the flavor more every year - the grocery store just can't compete with vine-ripened flavor.

We are wanting to add a room onto our house, so we had a man with a backhoe come out last week to dig a trench for the foundation. After working all weekend in the veggie garden, we are facing a week-long rain event, so now we have a mini-moat for our new foundation! After the rain ends, I'll get out and take more photos of what's blooming. This is the earliest I've ever seen my gardens start blooming - we're at least 3 weeks early. We went from a very mild winter to a hot 80 degree summer weather - no spring, so the weeds are growing at least as fast as the flowers. The grass greened up over night with this rain, and I think it grew at least two inches since Sunday noon.

Would love to hear about every one else's gardens.
