waiting out winter

It's raining. Again. Seems like it's done nothing but for months now but Mr YDW said that someone told him the past two years were drought years and that normally, it rains even MORE than it did this winter. Oy. Last year at this time, I had tomatoes in pots and they were budding like crazy. This year, they're huddled under the patio overhang trying to stay warm.

A pot of yellow squash on the left, a little box with 6 tomato plants in it, three of them new to me this year, a potted up tomato (can't for the life of me remember which type), and a pot of snap peas.

I love the tendrils on the pea plants.

The pot in front of the squash has misc flowers coming up, tiny green sprouts that I hope will turn into a color pot for the table.

And, lastly, the garden spot.

What with the incredibly energetic digging dog, we're going to run a 6' wire fence from the wooden fence to an out of sight post next to the house. I'll keep all the pots behind there, and hopefully end up with fresh tomatoes, squash, beets, beans, etc - if this freaking winter EVER ENDS!!!!
