First Butterfly of the Season...

I was just taking a quick break from work and walked outside, only to see our first butterfly of the season!

After running inside to grab the camera I snapped this quick picture to show you...It's a Zebra Swallowtail...she was puddling (drinking) from a little muddy, wet spot in the yard ~

The Zebra Swallowtail's host plant is the paw-paw tree, so it means that we must have one nearby...tomorrow I will take a walk through the woods and see if I can find it!

Woo hooo!! Now the fun begins :o)

Sunny-Side Up Gardens...

Ok...this is a shameless plug for my new  Sunny-Side Up Gardens for kids, that I just just launched in January...It took me nearly 6 months to tweak the concept, design the packaging, do the artwork and bring them to market...so, I'm pretty proud!

Each Kit Includes:  6 packages of Heirloom and Organic Seeds, Coir fiber growing disk, wooden plant ID stakes, growing instructions, growing Journal, pencil and100% recycled fiber egg carton planter!

They're so cute and easy to grow ~ A great spring project for the kiddo's :o)

Look for them in gardening centers this spring!

Our little friend, Sophie sent in pictures of her Sunny Side Up Gardens growing!!

Butterfly season is just around the corner...I just can't wait!! Happy Spring!!
