A Bit of Irish Earth

We spent Spring Break in Ireland! It was so beautiful, and we took so many pictures, that I put them on another blog. If you want to take a look it's called "Driving In Ireland".

First Crocus

Does this mean it's Spring? I was outside fighting the wild onion weeds and a really strong wind, when I noticed that my first little purple jewel of a crocus is starting to unfurl.

Planted onion sets today

I planted 12 onion sets from Sunrise today. There are four white, four yellow, and four red, all in a nice pretty little 2'X2' plot. The helpful man at Sunrise said to plant them with their little tops sticking out, so I did. Supposedly they will get nice and fat and kind of push themselves up out of the ground that way.

We tilled last weekend so the ground was so nice an easy to play in.
