Aaaahhhh Spring!

Just a brief post to let you know that the planning phase of the garden has once again begun.  I started seeing some of my Hyacinths have just started to poke their heads out of the soil.  Those little flowers are so brave coming up before we know if winter has truly gone for sure.

The other day I was reading about different uses of tea bags in the garden.  Once you make your tea, remove the string and paper tab and you can put the tea bag into the garden.  It's good for the soil and it will help to keep the bugs away.  The article also said that cats and other animals do not like the smell of tea and will keep them from your garden.  Hmmmm I wonder if raccoons like tea or not.  I think this tea bag thing is worth a try.
