SPRING!

As I look out the window, I see rain dripping from the roof. This does not dull my excitement at having received my first seed catalogue in the mail this week.

Spring my friends is just around the corner. The beds are getting ready, mulching everything down with the rain. We have so many weeds out there having taken over a very old and well established garden. The first attempt to beat them back a bit is to cover them with newspaper and wet it down. This seems to be doing the job but only time will tell.

D and I will each have 3 garden plots to grow what we like. D has chosen to rip everything out of his gardens, including the soil and start from scratch. I however was not willing or able to dig out all the soil and have gone the lazy way. I guess we will see what works best.

We are really hoping that we see a little more sunshine this year. Last year was such a loss. This winter has also been really wet... My feet are webbing.

So, time to pick out seeds, decide what will be grown, how much will be needed and where to put it all.

So excited... I love spring!
