I love love love the picket fence!<br />I also enjoy drawing up a plan for my potager in spring. Right now it's full of winter crops like leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, spring onions and calendula. Also the last of the peppers and chillis because we haven't had enough frost to kill them yet.<br />Hope you're getting some nice weather for spring.Ruth @ Camellia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129384344777788376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-57616884121735527692013-04-30T12:09:12.600-04:002013-04-30T12:09:12.600-04:00Charming post, everything looks wonderful.

I've never heard that about daffodils and planting peas but I'll keep that in mind. My daffs still haven't come up but my pea bed is ready and waiting!

I'm afraid I am much more moment to moment with my veggie plot. I've planted my snow peas, lettuce, kale, bok choy and potatoes. <br /><br />The tomoatoe seedlings have done great indoors and can't wait to get outside, but still too cold. Frogs are also great!

We've downsized ours since there's only three living here now, soon to be only two. What a great idea to add more variety. I think I'll add that to my to do list. Still working on the Spring cleanup here, temps are still below freezing at night, not much warmer during the day. We need more sunshine. My getting older bones don't work as well in the cold.Carolyn ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/05722229442110193733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-10992208783832978692013-04-18T08:21:55.242-04:002013-04-18T08:21:55.242-04:00Hi Pam...your vege garden is so wonderful!
