2008 Begins
I have been a terrible terrible blogger, but it's time to get back on the horse. The spring has been slow so far, but I have managed to do a bit of gardening so far:1) started tomato seeds 3.5 weeks ago - blog post with details to follow
2) some yard and bed cleanup and the beginning of an inventory of what made it over the winter (to come later)
3) 2 crabapple trees professionally pruned (they look awesome!).
4) moved the wretched rhubarb - it was so close to the back door, and I was losing things (like my shoes) under it's enormous leaves. So far it looks good!
5) prune Raspberries (both sides of the fence)
6) dug up blasted elm-ish type spready thing on backside of the house, and replaced with hosta and Snowball I moved from old perennial bed
7) tilled the vegetable garden (will incorporate some peat moss and compost on next till)
8) cleaned up 75% of my herb garden
This weekend I hope to:
1) plant some garlic (I'll try this again this year, I may have waited too long again)
2) plant snow peas and sweet peas
3) finish cleaning herb garden
4) continue bed clean-up including spreading more wood chips as mulch.
5) plant some Arugula along back of house - I'm hoping in the shade it won't go to seed as quickly
6) pick weeds out of the veggie garden and get ready for second till
More details later, with pictures, but I had to get something started!
