Wasn’t today wonderful? Makes you almost forget it is still winter. On days like today, I begin to plan my garden. My new garden. I moved spaces up at my community garden site. I decided I wanted to be closer to the supplies, now that these arthritic knees don’t like walking long distances on uneven surfaces. I can’t wait to get into planting. These sixty degree days lull you into thinking spring is here. But, is it?
This was a year ago. Bartlett, pruning on a bitter cold day with quite a bit of snow left on the ground.
This was my old garden plot two years ago. Looks pretty dreary.
A big difference from an August picture. In this picture, you can see my new plot in the far right. Flowers. Asparagus. I picked it up because of the irises, gladioli and asparagus. I have been planning what I plant, and getting ready to buy seeds.
This year I am the assistant Food Bank manager. Loving those Tuesday mornings, early before it gets hot, harvesting, weeding, watering and just enjoying the whole atmosphere in a garden.
Today, the weather made me anxious for spring. If you are inclined, there may be garden plots in your future.
Good for you leading the volunteer efforts growing for the Food Bank!
