Hello, My Friends!~~~
Perhaps the warm breath of spring we had last Friday was the seasonal abberration, and the snow we got last night is the norm. Either way I prefer the breath of Spring. On Friday, hubby took the day off, and we put down layers of leaf mulch on the gardens, and created a new lettuce garden bed. We worked in short sleeves and got a little pink from the sun and even grilled out for dinner!
This is one of our veggie gardens this morning:
The three pots are new, bought at IKEA on Sunday, and will be the home of bell pepper plants. Yesterday I ordered bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets, and a pea fence. I also stopped at the local garden center and purchased these:
The seed packets look so forlorn in the snow. Last year I planted leafy things and peas on March 10th. I'm hoping that the weather will gradually push toward spring SOON, so I can get out there and dig, dig, dig! But the snow is nice, pretty, and it is, after all, February.~~~XXOO, Beth
