Dirty fingernails

I get dirt under my fingernails...and I love every minute of it! Of course, it has to do with gardening. I'm sure you already figured that out. The fresh air is good for me, as is the exercise of digging in the dirt and hauling compost to the raised beds.

I'm way past ready for spring here. I've got cucumber seeds sprouting in my mini-greenhouse already. I just need to get out and fix a good place for them to grow when planting time comes. I've got several varieties of veggie seeds ordered and they should come in any day now. I'll put some of them in the mini-greenhouse to get an early start. Others can be sown directly into prepared beds later in the spring.

I'll be expanding my front yard gardens so that I can have a lot more produce this summer. I don't mind getting dirty and sweaty outside when I'm working toward something this worthwhile. Of course, I may have to learn how to get rid of blackheads with all the dirt and sweat I'll have on me, but I figure just scrubbing up with a good goat milk soap should do the trick.
