Even though it’s still March, we have our garden planted out back.

I’m really excited to taste the first crop. We’ve never had a real, planned garden on our property before. When my father-in-law was alive, we used to work his garden with him and reap the benefits every Sunday. For several years after his death, my husband and his siblings tried to plant a garden for my mother-in-law, but with everyone working full-time jobs, the garden was sadly neglected and after a while, no one bothered any more.

My husband has been talking about putting in raised beds in the back for several years, but all things being equal, it never happened.

This year it has. Can you tell I’m thrilled?

This week’s coloring page is in honor of the small sprouting gems of yummy poking their leafy goodness out of the ground.
