spring officially begins one week from today, but i can’t help but share a bit of our garden beginnings. we have a serious case of spring fever so you might just find us outside enjoying these later evenings of light or amid the potato & onion starts at the co-op.
in our garden, we are…
– planting pots full of spring flowers & forced bulbs
– overwintered kale, carrots, turnips, beets, & quite a bit more with varying success.
– watching, slowly, as the garlic matures & grows
– planting rhubarb (!!) for the first time. let’s see what happens…
– cleaning out old pots & stacking them in our garage.
– double-digging four beds in our backyard just in time for cabbage & broccoli starts
– starting seeds & dreaming of the bountiful summer harvests
– slowly putting up that fence one donated t-post at a time
– moving the chicken coop under a beautiful tree for shade & protection from our hawk friends
– adding another bed of strawberries. you really can’t have too many.
– anticipating what more is to come…
what are you doing in the garden these early spring days?
love,
natalie
