Hi Everyone - It has been a long time since I blogged. The year was so busy and the garden was beautiful and a breath of fresh air and calm. I did make garden changes. That's what gardeners do. Each year spring comes with an opportunity to learn and change and hopefully improve the garden. But at the end of last year's growing season I said to Ted "That's it, I can't think of anything that I can change that I want to change. Oh, there are always things we would change if we had the time, money and unlimited workers to do the job. But, I thought I had reached a level of contentment for how things are. But, alas and to my joy I have a list of things to change and I am excited about them.
The job that will give me the most aches and pains and the one I am most excited to tear into is changing this area right in front of the little garden house. I want to make a 6 foot by 6 foot patio with 12" redish-colored cement pavers. This is a picture from last year:
Last spring I placed one of those fabric raised beds in this spot. This was a poor location for a vegetable planter, but should make a nice spot for a little table and chairs. The fabric raised bed I plan to move to a sunny spot.
Our springs can be cold. I always try to cover tender plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. The red and green covers are Wall-O-Waters.
I have a garden to-do list. Included in the list is start plants by seed. Last year I bought all my plant-starts. I missed the varieties you can get from seed.
Hopefully, I will show you how they do. Enjoy spring. We still have almost 3 months before we can plant outside...but I should be able to do the patio and start the seeds before then.
