An early spring for us. Who can complain? Yes, we will likely get snow again and more than likely about the time of the May long weekend. It’s a tradition in Alberta.

But for now, our snow is gone. Tulips are poking through the ground and I started tomato plants. This is the first time in years I have started my own plants. With a man in a wheelchair who crashes into everything, I didn’t have a place I though was safe but last fall I got new doors and the one at the end of the hallway where he never goes, has a window.

I’m hoping there is enough light there.

I discovered a new mini greenhouse, complete with warming blanket to get the soil warmer and the seeds germinated faster.

A couple of months from now I will wonder why I was so excited about gardening and all the extra work but that’s okay. I intend to enjoy the fictional dream for now.

I live in a fictional dream with my characters too. See how I bring everything back to my writing?

Do you enjoy gardening? Do you enjoy vegetables fresh from the back yard? Umm. Can’t wait for it.
