Yay, Spring ... Your arrival is soooooo Welcome!

Yawn!  Big Stretch!  Just like our lawn, the asparagus, rhubarb, daffodils, tulips, and our Mason Bees, we are waking up to Spring and the fun work ahead!  The lawn has been mowed a couple of times … always a good warm up.

Here is a short list of what we've (Doug mostly) been up to:    
March:
  • grafted apple and prune (plum) trees;
  • set out Mason Bees;
  • dormant sprayed fruit orchard;  
  • mortared together (with very good help) raised beds; 
  • weed whacked the cover crop in our small garden;
  • planted radish seeds (that the little birds pulled out of the ground);
April:
  • planted cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower (in a raised bed);
April to do:
  • replant herbs, I.e. marjoram, parsley;
  • plant onions, lettuce, peas, carrots;
  • flowers in containers;
  • in the greenhouse start peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes;
  • and a whole lot more!  
Good to be back!  Don't be afraid to make it a great day! Char
