Our garden awaits the arrival of spring.
This is when folks around here are dreaming about spring. We’ve had a few months to pour over seed catalogs and plot our plans and plan our [garden] plots. I’m no different.
Out in the garden, under a blanket of snow a layer of rotted manure has been leaching into the soil since last fall. In a few weeks, I’ll mount the tiller on the tractor and churn it up for Sylvia to plant. She’ll put out all of our favorite veggies, but this year there will be fewer tomatoes. We still have plenty of canned tomatoes in glass jars from last year’s bounty.
I’m looking forward to spending time outside. To feel the warmth of the sun and the cool breeze upon my skin.
Spring is coming. The signs are there. Have you seen them?
I’ll have to take cues from you when to put in the pumpkins!
Sorry. I won’t be much help. Sylvia knows. 🙂
I wish I could make sure plans to start my garden, but we had a terrible drought here in Iowa last year, and it’s not looking much better for this year so far. Maybe I’ll just try something small.
Sorry about your garden. We love to eat the fresh produce that ours supplies. We were on the edge of the drought, and so we had to water the garden about four times a week. We had great results.
Yesterday morning was bitter cold. By the time school got out for the kids, it was almost jacket weather, just beautiful, and I admit it did give me a bit of Spring Fever.
Looks like we’ll have a spell of mild weather coming up. The down side is our road turns to mud. 🙁
You ain’t-a-kiddin’, our driveway is full of mud and of course I JUST cleaned my car. Ah well, I’d rather have warm weather and mud than cold weather and no mud. It’s like Spring out there today, woot! :yea:
Yes,thinking about Spring; but perhaps with a tad less ambition.
If you think I’m ambitious, please understand that it’s mostly mental. In other words, my will is writing checks that my body can’t cash. :no: At least not right now. :banghead:
Yes, I am thinking about spring and working with my honey bees. Just trying to set up a new web site to help promote the information and honey related products. Stay tuned….tech guy that dables with bees or is it bees have stung new life into the tech guy… I will still have a garden too. Thanks for sharing.
We love the honey your bees produce! The perfect food. Thanks for the comment. :up:
