POTD - 4/2/08 - Spring

Spring, huh. . .yeah, that's funny. No Spring here! The only signs of spring here are man made. My DH has quite the green thumb. He can produce massive beef steak tomatoes, x-large green, yellow and red peppers. Last year he successfully grew brussell sprouts. Due to the fact that he has been out of work with a back injury since October and it has been a very long winter, he decided to start growing early this year. Within 2 weeks, this is what he's got so far. These litterly grew overnight. . . one day nothing, the next day bam!



I just have to say that Broadband is a wonderful thing! This post took 2 minutes to load - amazing! Dial-up is history!

Good for you! If the weather won't cooperate, that doesn't have to stop you!

I love these! There's something really satisfying about growing your own foods in the garden. I can't wait till we can start here, but your husband is really wise to get a head start in-doors.

Very nice shots Melissa. I love vegetables!

We are just planning our garden for this year, I can't wait to get my hands dirty and watch my little plants grow.
Love the DOF in the first shot. The subject of this post is just exactly what is needed to prove that Spring really will show up.

Wow, I would love to have a garden again! It's so nice to plant fresh herbs and vegetables! Love your pictures too.... at least you have spring indoors!

So cute! I love watching them lean toward the sun.

Debbi said...

Wow - how cool that he does this! Great shots. Isn't it nice to see some green - even if it is manmade?

I wish I could do that. I would love to be a gardener, it's just not for me.

What neat little sprouts! I'm glad your dh has found something to do while he is off work, I'm sorry to hear about his back- that is no fun at all!

Michelle said...
