Spring can't make up its mind in Colorado. We keep going from snow to 80-degree weather. I think the worst of the cold is gone though (fingers crossed).
Last week we started our backyard garden and compost pile. One reason, it's because we're awesome. The other reason is that I go through veggies pretty quickly, and we're hoping this helps counter those costs. We will see how it goes. The soil in the yard was surprisingly rich and black. I've never seen soil so rich in my life. We didn't have to add anything to make it ready for planting. Very different from the soil in Atlanta. Man, that stuff required so much conditioning and preparation. It's nice to see fertile land. Honestly, it's nice to say "fertile" in our house, without "-in" in front of it.

Here are the clay pots we found in our garage. Shortly after this pic they were filled with soil and seeds to start our veggie patch. I'm excited. If everything works out, we will have tomatoes, squash, broccoli and various herbs, among a few other veggies. The most exciting thing we are starting? Thai Basil. I can't WAIT. It is going to revolutionize my stir-fry.
Yay!
