Photos - Starting Onions and Heirloom Tomatoes/Bird Photos

Welcome back.  I think Spring has finally sprung.  And I mean FINALLY.  The 3 feet of snow from the mid March storm has finally melted.  The peepers are out and we're ready to roll!  I am anxiously awaiting to see if any migratory birds visit the feeder.  April is usually when they start to arrive on their journey north.


Starting Heirloom Tomatoes:



Peat Pellets Absorbing Water.  Netting is Then Peeled Back, Seeds Planted and Covered With Soil.
