Impatience

I want spring to get here or at least have the ground thaw out so I can start digging.
In the mean time I have created a plan for my backyard, here it is:
I tried to use all of the vegetable seeds that I have purchased. It took a while but I think I figured it out. We will see if I can actually plant everything and get it looking nice.
Because of my impatience I went shopping today to see if I could find any gardening stuff. I bought 4 really nice looking nesting baskets, I plan on lining them with plastic and planting some flowers and other veggies in them. (I will post a picture of them later.)
I also bought some more seeds. Mostly flowers but I did get a few different kinds of veggies.
I am planing on planting the Broccoli Raab in the biggest basket that I bought today.
I am getting excited and impatient. Come on warm weather!

Hello!

I have big plans for my small backyard. We moved in last June so my garden was very small. You can see it in the left of the picture, along with the garlic which I don't think did well in the very very wet winter we have had. I am going to dig some up in March to see how they did (it was a good try, I think, for my first garlic crop). Today I got a few things accomplished for my garden. I ordered seeds (lots and lots of seeds, I hope I can use all of them) and I got new boots (no more ruining my sneakers in the mud).
