Busy in the Garden...... Finally!

We finally got around to planting stuff. Its been lots of rain around here, and with the new jobs and still getting the house in order I haven't found the time to plant any seeds. But its warming up and we went to the Tilth Spring Plant sale and got some starts. Lacy got a bunch of flowers and some edibles and I got some herbs.
We threw some old peas and bean seeds into the ground but we don't have any confirmed sprouts, yet. The seeds were at least 2009 so it might be too late for them.
The herb bed is taking shape, chickens are happy and healthy and there are more newcomers to our garden this year. We have a new Gardening Partner!!!! We gave her a whole bed which she promptly filled with onion, spinach, and some other starts with all this room we have it seemed silly that she would pay for a pea patch, assuming she could even get one (I hear there are wait lists). Also baby chicks will be arriving in four weeks and ducks soon after. Our NGP (just this afternoon) has become employed so I don't think he will be wanting to lend much time to our gardening efforts, although he has become quite fond of all the fresh veggies and eggs, so he might be willing to help now and then.
Second composter is put together, straw bin is finished all but the lid, which is going to take me some design work and a few more parts. Home Despot how I love thee! And I want to build a potato bin this year. Bought some more worms at the plant sale, I like to think all the other little guys ran free but likely they just dried out, and decomposed. Sad. But Lacy fixed the worm bin by drilling holes in the lid so these guys should be much happier.
Our yard waste (imagine a brush pile the size of your living room) lives on. Plans to borrow Mom's truck are in the works, I just wanted to wait for some drier weather. Moving all that debris to the transfer station in the cold windy rain just sounded like a terrible way to spend my weekend.
All the bulbs planted in the front yard are blooming out and looking beautiful. Its such a nice thing to come home to the last rays of sunshine and your walk up to your door lined in crocuses and daffodils!
