Tending the Early Spring Garden

"Each spring.....a gardening instinct, sure as the sap rising in the trees, stirs within us. We look about and decide to tame another little bit of ground." Lewis Gannett

I'm spending wonderful early spring days in my garden....planting annuals, herbs, and enjoying the breeze, the cry of red-tailed hawks, and the house wrens at the bird feeder. I'm also thinking of Vanessa Bell in her garden at Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex in the 1920's 30's and 40's...wondering what she was planting in early spring or deciding which piece of ground to tame.
