Getting ready to plant again!!

I love this time of year. The snow is almost all gone, each day reaches almost 60 degrees and little sprouts are coming out of the ground. This year I'm going to attempt a raised garden for my veggies. I have tons of lillies planted around my property and cant' wait to see those start blooming. I want to try some new flowers this year - give me some ideas!! I live in zone 3 and want some new perennials. I love spring, all the animals are coming out - I'll be sure and post some pictures.
