Every St. Patrick's Day I plant sweet pea seeds to ensure good luck all year long. This year I may plant double my normal batch! I highly suggest it. http://www.abbyjenkins.com check out a cute idea to start this tradition with your favorite gardeners.

Started clearing some of the leaves and mulch off of my new garden bed today. SO exciting!!! The solomon's seal is starting to pop up, snowdrops nodding in agreement that the crocus are gorgeous and in full form. I love spring!

Tempted to rake off all the leaves but have to control myself. When is it safe to unearth perennial beds?
