I had cleaned out the veg drawer in the bottom of my brother's refrigerator. I suppose when you're in a lot of physical pain and don't feel like cooking for a few months, this is what happens. They know it's spring. There was no need to buy seed potatoes.

This is usually how I get my "seed" potatoes and sweet potatoes! This year, I did purchase some actual seed potatoes, I got red skinned new potatoes and "all blue" potato seeds....normally, I just plant whatever I have forgotten to cook after purchasing them from the grocery store, lol. My yellow-skinned new potatoes are "Forgotten and found seeds" from my bestie's house, lol.

If we get some sunshine tomorrow, I'll start planting seeds in the pots in the green house. Today I watered them again, to get the soil moist. Because some of it is my garden soil, I like getting the pots filled and watered and sitting in whatever sunshine we get. This gets the weeds seeds to sprout.

I pulled every little tiny weed I saw.

I enjoyed having iris until two years ago when the first pair of chickens wandered onto my property and into my life. The roots are still there and get blades each year but apparently the flowers are quite tasty. Some were quite striking color-wise but my favorites were the little purple ones. They smelled like grapes. It made me smile.
Your froggies are adorable. Is you homestead named Lily Pad Lane?

I should name my little slice of Eden, hmm?

I have that issue with (I think) rabbits and my herbs that are at ground level. My tarragon has to start the season under a cloche and my chives looked like they were getting munched too, so they’re under one too now. Not sure about the sage yet, assuming it survived the winter.

Speaking of frogs...

Just saw mine today, too. Looks just like that and that's reassuring to me because this was the first winter it has over wintered for me. My mom grows it every year but I never paid attention to what hers looked like in the early spring

Looks just like that

Snow and all?

Snow and all?

It was cold enough to snow today and currently sitting at 35° so it could. But we've been getting so much cold rain lately that it melted all the snow. And I thank Mother Nature for not pulling a weather trick on us today and having it snow, like it did last year

Pots in the green house are all planted. About 60 tomatoes, some other stuff. It was warm up there while I was in there, as the sun was shining. As long as we have some sunshine, it'll be nice in there.

I stuck the thermometer in one pot... 72 ° in the dirt. It won't stay that warm, but I don't know how quickly it cools off.
