it begins

It must be this weather. Things have been cool and rainy – positively temperate. It’s like living in Vancouver, or something… Or maybe it’s just spring. Yeah, spring, I know, what’s that?

Which is to say, we don’t usually get such such long luxurious springs around here.

And so, what with the ludicrously verdant world around me, I’ve been itching to get in the garden.

We started our heirloom tomatoes weeks ago, but I felt like this was the week for me to start seriously considering my garden options.

My first purchase:

This gorgeous geranium. Funnily enough, it’s called “Vancouver centennial.” The flowers are going to be wee, but neon red. The leaves are fuzzy and fragrant. I’m excited.
