I've got to get back to mulching - but I've been crazy busy with all the goats that keep popping around here!
I got paper feed bags laid down in the short tomato trellis, DH and I put mulch over them. Ready to plant now.
Snow in April. So foreign here. I'm a Southerner!
Heck, I don't even like snow in winter.....surely not Spring.
ETA:
This past week I've been separating seed to direct sow and those to start plants. OK - I have been thru these packets what seems like hundreds of times in past month or so. Just cannot find some tomato & eggplant types I want to start & I AM going crazy. Yesterday, would not buy a seed or plant as I just knew I had them....well, maybe I only dreamed it. You know how our mind stops working as we age and all that stuff. Still I was confident.
TODAY --- I found those seeds! Yeppers, had bound together those I wanted first and there they were in the box with all the canning lids, which was next to the other garden notes, seed, etc. A real mental confirmation! My mind does still function! What a relief -- finding the seeds, I mean -- now I can start those plants. There were a lot of other things I hadn't even missed yet -- ready to go in the ground. Apparently I had felt it was a year to plant drying type beans -- kidney, pinto, great northern, etc. -- because I dang sure bought a bunch on close out last yr. And it was a good choice, as it turns out. Seeds are selling out fast now and these are types that produce well, store great and will provide a lot of nutrition. It appears I was meant to garden this year in a big way. All things are leading me there, most without forethought...like why'd I till such a big area? Why all the seed & pots? Why all the pandemic? Lot of whys. Happy Easter.
