Time to get the garden ready.

Yes indeed it is time to be preparing the vegetable garden for planting.  I had thought to make a start this weekend but the weather is not co-operating.  Last year we were a bit late getting it planted so our harvest was not the best.  Once the patch is dug over and prepared and planted Nick takes it over.  He will water and weed (usually we weed together) and then he will harvest.  He gets so much pleasere out of picking the vegetables we will have for dinner and the lettuces for the sandwiches.  And of course nothing beats fresh from the garden.

To get me even further motivated The Shabby Tea Room offered this image to use as inspiration this week, in addition you had to use text.

  Here is the card I came up with in reply to this challenge.  I found the image online.  Seed packets really were little works of art in days gone by.  Its a little harder to know exactly what vegetable these seeds would produce but the images were just wonderful.
