Today I'm tilling compost into the herb garden and planting cilantro, dill, nasturtiums, calendula and peach vine. Actually, I have some volunteer cilantro coming up in the veggie garden that I'm moving to the herb garden and I will finish off that row by planting cilantro seed as well. My dahlias came in the mail a couple days ago and I need to get them in the ground. I'm still deciding where I want to place them. Oh, and there still so much more raking and clean-up to be done it's unbelievable. The irises need cleaning out and that's got to be at the top of my list due to the fact that they are an early spring bloomer. So much to do - so little time. Isn't it wonderful?!!!

T-I-R-E-D!!!!! Oh my gosh, I did get so much done in the herb garden today. Not nearly finished but what a beginning!! If I was any happier I wouldn't know what to do. I also rolled out my plant stand from inside the house and let the plants get some "real" light. I put them in a location where the wind wouldn't topple them over and left them outside for a little sunshine.
Hubby tilled our vegetable garden - twice!! I was close to ecstasy. I slipped off my garden boots and socks and went for a walk on the wild side - straight through the middle of the freshly tilled vegetable garden. Oh it was wonderful!!! Gotta do it folks. Every year you have to test the freshly tilled garden and the only way to do it is in bare feet!!! It was heavenly!
So, anyway, back to the real world. I'm tired, yes, but I feel great. Tomorrow is when it will hit me. I probably won't be able to move - BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!!
