Back to the Garden

I have to practice great amounts of patience at this time of year; waiting to plant.  Waiting for mother nature to give us some steadily warm weather.  The canvas awaits; new soil added last week.  Plans have yet to be put down on paper, seeds yet to purchase, and then sow.  Cool weather crops first. Lettuce, chard, onions and spinach.  Then more waiting.

But some things are already growing. 

They are small yet so I got up close.
