Garden Growth–17th April, 2019

I tried to get as much in as I could today because there’s a lot of rain predicted in the next couple of days, and it was too windy to finish moving the compost yesterday.  Cooler today, but definitely broke 60° F this afternoon. Continue reading “Garden Growth–17th April, 2019” →

Garden Growth–15th April, 2019

Got caught in today’s spring shower, which was anything but light though it was warm (at first anyway)!  My sweatshirt hanging on a chair by the dining room radiator still isn’t dry, but then again the heat has barely needed to come on today.  Another 60°F day.

Garden Growth–April 13, 2019

The first in what I hope will become a regular effort to streamline a garden journal to have at least a finished dead basic record of what I’ve done on a given day.  Here goes! Continue reading “Garden Growth–April 13, 2019” →

Site Change: Added the new seeds to “What I’m planting soon” list

I know I said I wouldn’t do this until I finished my planting calendar, but I realized it wouldn’t take long.  I think I’m still missing a few flowers from seeds I gathered last year, but I’ll fix that after I finish my planting calendar.
