This year we have the itch to try again. God has given us amazing property and we have such a desire to be good stewards of it. So it started with the roots of my green onions. Patrick planted them and they are taking off! Then, it was the potatoes that stayed too long in the pantry. He planted those and they are growing beautifully! Since then he's added tomato plants.
This past Saturday our library was having their annual plant sale. They sell seedlings for cheap! It was fun to wait in line. We've learned that people arrive early, it's almost like Black Friday! We arrived, coffee in hand, 45 minutes early. We were able to buy watermelons, Seminole Squash, Golden Zucchini, Chocolate Peppers, Sweet Peppers, and many other plants.I picked up a couple of herbs and this lavendar plant. My porch is filling up with beautiful plants! I love it!
So spring is here! Although this morning we had a little cold snap and I am enjoying my windows open while I type. I hear the birds, the rooster, and my baby goats. Oh how I love life on our little farm!
Up north (in Canada), we add our egg shells to the soil to help with grubs etc. It seems to help
ReplyDeleteEgg shells? That's very interesting and worth a try! We have plenty of those!!
DeleteLooks like so much fun and progress. I live a few states north of you and we just started planting a few cold weather crops. In a few more weeks, we’ll add the rest. This is our fifth Spring on our property, but it’s the first year we have bigger plans for our outdoor space.
ReplyDeleteI too lack a green thumb but each year I try again :-) I like the raised beds you have in the garden. Those high ones would be so much better for my back but I have to deal with a different garden than most and there isn't a possiblity of adding those high beds. One can dream. May God bless both of our gardens.
