So...it's freezing cold outside and slightly miserable. But also gorgeous and sunny.
and we're finally gardening! Checking things off of the list-digging out gardening beds, mulching with lots of compost-y materials mixed into the dirt and added a think mulch of straw on top. The dirt in these beds once we loosen it up and uncompact it is gorgeous.
I'm getting excited to get things into the ground this spring. Started gardening with Selenes this year-she's going to take at least 1 garden bed and has been digging hers out too. There's 2 more beds to do right now-then possibly digging out and mulching the bed along the fences too. It's going to be fantastic!
There was no cider-I got so excited seeing all of the apples on the tree and then found out the tree has some sort of disease-they all 'ripened' but all nasty and rotten. it's gross. so that's out unless we buy apples.
Next up once the garden looks gorgeous is loading all the pics up here and getting all the tools into the shed for the winter.
I'm trying to decide what to grow next year since seeds need to get ordered. I have some fantastic squash recommendations from Tom over here http://www.tallcloverfarm.com/ and I may do an entire bed of different squashes. YUM! I also think I'm going to try onions and garlic again. then greenbeans, zucchini, tomatoes, carrots and sweet potatoes (do those even grow here?) Not sure what else yet.
Did you do any winter gardening? Do you already have your spring garden planned out?
Thanks for the post mate you have written it very well.
