Digging Out a Winter Garden

Hubby picked up a new push mower and a lovely garden tiller this weekend.  Each of us, adults gave the tiller a spin yesterday to start our winter garden.  Today it is so pretty out; the kids and I were sifting the dirt and picking up the grass and weeds.

Zephyr is happy to help even though he spilled his bubbles. 

Just call him:

'WRONG FOOT Z'

Part of our school work was spent in the garden. 

Super dapper Banjo.

Supervisors Banjo and Sonic.

We were doing well enough without their constant eye.

This far in South Texas, we will be able to put in a separate tomato garden.  Yeppers, It rarely gets down into freezing here this early in the season.  So far, we will be putting in some broccoli (never tried it before), peppers, red bells, cabbage, carrots, taters, onions, beans, more herbs plus other different veggie seeds I have been saving. 

We are seeing hummingbirds still just not as many; good thing I kept the feeders up for the stragglers.  There is a plethora of dragonflies about as well.  Each evening we watch their mating dance and now butterflies are plentiful.  Not a bad way to spend half a school day eh?

Off to make a mac and cheese casserole for dinner! We hope ya'll are enjoying your slices of heaven as much as we are.
