Yup - same deal - long time no blog. Anyways, I've gotten a lot done in the garden over the last few weeks. First off I had a full week off from work, and I have been working a bit each weekend as well.

The strawberries have been planted (18 plants total) and all but one survived (they were shipped bare root). The spinach is starting to produce secondary leaves, and the lettuce is doing well too:

The peas, beets, radishes, cabbage, carrots, and all of my other lettuce has sprouted too. These have all been planted directly in the ground outside over the last month and they seem to be doing quite well.

I've also been working on the landscaping out in the back yard. I've added about 35 bags of 'river rock' to the paths so far this year. I'm not even near done half of the paths. I had no idea it would take this many bags of rocks to complete the paths and I'm beginning to double think my decision. I may quit once I finally get half-way and try wood chips or something for the rest.

My indoor seedlings are doing awesome. I need to take some pics, but most things have sprouted and have been transplanted into pots. One okra bit the dust (I think a cat ate it) but everything else is doing great.

I haven't neglected out front either:

I've bought a few plants over the three weeks for the pots on the porch. The front bed by the sidewalk has been cleaned and mulched. Most of the plants seem to be coming back - it's looking pretty good!

I've added more pics in the image gallery from March and the first from April. I'm trying to beat my record of number of pics from last year. We'll see...
