Our daffodils are starting to bloom now as well as the hyacinths, nothing on the narcissus yet though.
One of my summer projects this year will be to set up a vegetable garden, we had one at our old house and would like to do one in the new as well. We just need to figure the best spot for it, and how to protect it from the deer. Last year we grew lettuce, tomatoes, melon, peppers, collards (for the iguana also). A banana tree would be cool, Petey (the iguana) and the kids love them - I dont think it will do so well in North East Ohio though.

That's a lot of work, but it does look nice. Did you get it from a book(s) or just sort of wing it? Our last one was in a 4 foot x 12 foot box I made in the back yard and was a bit cramped, the next effort will be something much more ambitious I think, or so I've been directed.

You sound very knowledgeable, next time I'm in Seattle can I come over and help you garden, I'm sure I could learn a lot from you
