The weather has been amazingly warm this spring, highs in the 60s was the norm this month.... I'm loving it!



On a more serious note, It still fascinates me the amount of goodness that comes from a tiny seed. There's something just a little bit magical about planting seeds... I can't wait until August :)

Here's to a successful garden year!
