"Time for planting!" Isaac announced

this evening just after dinner, shaking a packet of radish seeds.  Isaac loves to pull radishes, so we got right to work.  He and Eve prepared a clear patch in our crazy sometime-garden.  

Then, to the planting;

and let's not forget the importance and fun of watering. 

 

Radishes, on the way!

While we were out there, I took some photos for the ever-popular first-rose contest!  This year, the first place winner was Mme. Laurette Messimy (not at her peak in this photo as the frost chilled her overmuch). 

 

Second runner-up, Mrs. Bousanquet,   

and third, Safrano.   

Don't they all sound like characters from a B-grade 19th century romance?

Here's a link to a photo slideshow of the snow weekend, and Isaac's birthday, at my webshots page.  Enjoy!

thanks for sharing the pictures! I put the one of both kids on our desktop background, and it took Ron a few minutes to figure out who the little girl was--they've both really grown up since we saw them last. good luck with the garden!
