spring is springing!

i think every time i look at the wisteria, the flowers have opened more - and i thought my climbing rose wasn't going to do anything this year, because it usually starts in december, but it really didn't do anything then - and then this weekend, it suddenly seemed to be covered in flowers.  i'm so excited to see the wisteria starting to drop through the trellis - that's the effect i've been hoping for, and this is the first year i've gotten it.  kinda fun to see the rose joining in.

so i spent some time this weekend planting things.  mostly vegetables - i really don't have enough room to really grow vegetables, but i keep trying.  i started a selection of things indoors a couple of months ago.  the runner beans really took off, so i put them (and the blue jade corn, which is not quite as enthusiastic) out a couple of weeks ago - they already have flower buds!  everything else only got to the 2-leaf stage, and then just stayed there.  i put them outside about a week ago to see if more sun would help, mostly it got things eaten.  but i still had some cherry tomatoes (now in a strawberry pot) and an eggplant, and a miniature broccoli and a marigold - so those are now about, with some additional seeds, along with a purchased tomato plant.  it was lovely and warm and sunny saturday, but back to cold and grey now, but hopefully things will start picking up.
