Garden On My Mind

How does the song go? Georgia Garden on my mind?? I like my words better. :) It seems with spring coming a bit early in our area that gardening is all that I'm thinking about. We've started our seeds in the mini greenhouse. We've planted the sweet peas outside and we're even trying a little experiment and planted a few potatoes to see what they do this time of year.
We've got big plans for our garden and backyard this year. We normally work out of 3 raised beds but we've decided to till up the whole backside of our backyard along the fence and make the garden even bigger. Our hope is to grow enough veggies throughout the growing season and maybe...just maybe we can continue to eat on them in the winter months. And...if you really want to dig deep into our dreams you'll find that we're hoping to be able to save enough money throughout the summer months that maybe come winter we can purchase a larger outdoor greenhouse. This little mini indoor one we have just isn't cutting it.
With all this being said-of course my macro photos for Friday go hand and hand with this post.
I'm posting this one for it's sheer beauty. I love these colors together and having these fresh flowers in the house have given the living room a wonderful aroma.

And this marco picture is of one of our our sweet baby tomato plants. I love it's prickly little baby hair. I also love watching it grow knowing that in a few short months it will provide us with more tomatoes then we probably know what to do with.
