Getting Dirty

Who is waiting for Spring to properly arrive with gardening season in tow?  NOT ME!

I see great potential in dirt. Not the kind of dirt you find in chewing gum that has been determinedly picked off of hot summer pavement by a 3 year old, but the kind used in pots and gardens.  I get excited about gardening and all of the possibilities that come with it.  So, a day before the arrival of Spring, I decided to try something new and sowed 3 pots of spinach. Now, I've grown spinach before but I've never started it this early.

Did I know there was snow in the forecast?  YES.  Did I care? NO.  After all, the package did say that the seeds could be sown as soon as the ground could be worked.  I read the word 'ground' in the metaphorical sense.
Four days later.....

It will be interesting to see how the seeds develop. I am going to try to ignore them for a bit since a 'watched plant doesn't grow'.  I'm hoping that the spinach will be successful enough to be used as an ingredient in one of the culinary masterpieces of  http://foodbydave.blogspot.com/  
 Gardening has so many health benefits so go out and get dirty!!

You don't even have to have a big garden...

But if you're intimidated by dirt, tools, and plants......
