Spring is Definitely Here

Spring has finally come to Georgia!  My dogwood trees are in full bloom, the weather has been warm and occasional sprinkles of rain here and there.  I have been hibernating for about 3 months now and I am finally starting to get “the fever.”  I’m ready to start my gardening projects for the year and I am even getting my deck built in the back yard with planter boxes.  I spent some time in my yard this weekend, which looks a complete and total mess.  Here’s a few pictures from the weekend:

My cat is already on the look out for poor innocent birds to maul 🙁

I’m going to have to put a bell on her collar to keep the birds aware of her presence.  Otherwise, she will leave little presents for me on the front porch.

I didn’t have much time for my herb garden last year, but this year I so much more time.  Green peppers, tomatoes and collards are a must this year.

Among the herbs that survived this winter, my parsley, cilantro, chives, one sprig of thyme and sage.  My basil has already started growing back and my collard greens are doing fine.

Guess its time to get rid of the fall and winter decor and bring in the spring colors.
