Spring has sprung

You know that old saying spring has sprung the grass has riz I wonder what that white stuff is. Well it's the first of April ,and you can see the tulips heads pushing out from under the snow. Here in Utah, the snow comes then the sun comes out and melts away the snow then it does it all over again. It is kinda springy feeling.
I have added five raised beds to my back yard for planting this year. I have two more to make. I decited ( well acually Joy from "Joy in the Garden" gave me the direction.)that the only way to be able to grow a good garden without fear of the animal in the ground was to dig up the ground and put down ground cloth, or a wire fencing to keep it out. So I've done all that, Now I am going to get a garden started. Last week I planted my peas, next I'm gonna get in some lettuce, and onions. I love this time of year the best to get out and plant and see what you get.
One day I want to be able to have enough flowers growing to be able to gather bouquets for the graves on memorial day. Last year I had some Iris to send, purple and brown ones.
