With all that snow on the ground yesterday morning, my thoughts temporarily shifted away from early Spring gardening. By tonight all of that snow had melted, but not before I snapped this picture of a giant yellow crocus peaking through it in my backyard.

With the snow out of the way and the ground workable, I rushed out to dig some holes in preparation for the bushes my brother-in-law hates, my sister likes and I don't mind. Weatherman willing, I'll be helping to dig them up, come Saturday.

This year, I got started gardening early - in late February and by the middle of March, I had already planted out the seven blueberry bushes and the three locust trees that were overtaking the unheated greenhouse. And I moved one of the small cottonwood shoots, coming up claustrophobicly in the backyard, out to front.

I really hope that everything takes, because these locust trees, I started them from seed and the blueberries... well, let's just say that this is not my first attempt at getting them to grow around here. This time, I even amended the soil (many months in advance) with sulfur to make it more acidic.

Next, I have to start some vegetable seedlings, rototill the garden and begin planting bulbs. Where will I find the time? Wish me luck, please!
