who needs a lawn... When you can have more gardens? Each Spring, I head out to the garden and do the same thing...I start yanking out sods of grass to expand on my current beds or to create new beds. But here is the thing, I never go out there with the intention of doing it. Honestly, I head out there to weed or sow seeds, but early each gardening season, before I do that, I grab that pitch shovel and edger and expand upon my ever growing beds.
My viewpoint is that you can never have too many garden beds. It is simply impossible. My husband however, does not quite see it like that. He fears that I'll take over the little lawn we have left. We're fortunate enough to have a few acres of land, but a good 85-90% of our land is woods. I've already transformed a good majority of our lawn with gardens, so my husband is desperately trying to guard the little bit that remains.
The sun's setting light cascaded the garlic shoots in a gorgeous warm glow. This year's garlic is around 2-3 weeks further ahead in their growth than last years at this time. It's been pretty wild to see how much faster Spring has unfolded this year.
I was hoping to get some plants out into the garden this weekend, but the weather is looking less than pleasant. I have to remind myself that it is still only April. So, until then, I'll focus on my seedlings and dream of warm, sunny days ahead. Happy gardening!

I agree - who needs a lawn! I just tell my husband it will be less to mow (since I don't mow lawns - just remove them). I love your forsythia. The garlic and seedlings look so good! Like you, I too have to remind myself it is only April - just can't wait.
Beautiful. I can't wait to see what you do with your gardens this year.
If I had a garden I wouldn't have a lawn.
As a boy cutting the big lawn at home was the job I really didn't like doing, especially as it was a push mower!
Have a good weekend! Flighty xx
Lawns are good for kids to play in! SO I'm game for both, especially if there are kids at home.
