garden beginnings

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,
