First Gardening of 2009

Yes, the weather has turned warmish in Reston so I did my first gardening of the year--turning over some soil. I had assumed it might be still frozen, but it wasn't (the shredded leaves from the association probably helped). It's definitely premature--you know all the warnings about the soil being too cold and wet, particularly with our good clay soil, but who listens to written wisdom when the weather is in the 60's?
