Its staying lighter out longer - its warmish out...well - at least over 40 usually...I'm dying to get out in our new garden and take pictures and prune trees and get started gardening in the new place!
We rebuilt the new chicken run yesterday - we put a temporary tarp roof on it and a windstorm pulled it all apart. It is now reinforced and roofless. The chickens are happier, they really seemed to hate the roof and the humans....well we've decided we'll have to deal with muck.
On a more fun note though there was a small harvest yesterday as well! tiny baby carrots and 2 bins of potatoes were discovered in the garden! They are now harvested and sitting on the kitchen counter waiting to be cleaned and devoured. Yum!
Next weekends project is building a bin to hold the extra straw for the chicken run - we've made a plan and are going to build a hinged box made out of cedar fencing boards...it should be awesome and the result will be the straw can be removed from the front porch and we can clean off the porch - somewhere under all the mess there are porch chairs just waiting to be sat in. There's so much to do it's hard to know where to start...I am hoping we have unpacked the camera so that I can take pictures this weekend - to get a nice "before"
Question: what is your favorite part of gardening? the process? the result? watching it change and evolve?
I honestly can't decide what mine is...I think watching it change and evolve - but that is a direct result of the process so perhaps the process...hmmm. Or perhaps it is this moment, right now before we've even begun when it's all just possibilities and dreams...where anything can happen.
