Spring Is on It’s Way!
Welcome back!
As I have mentioned in earlier posts, my husband and I recently moved into a new house. We have been in the house since last July. While that may be the peak growing season where we are located, we were both so busy settling in to our new house and working, we did not pay attention to what was planted on the property.
Today, was an unusually warm day so I decided to entertain myself in an austere way, with yard work. I raked up leaves that were missed in the fall and picked up sticks that had fallen from the large tree in my front yard over the windy winter. I also finally pulled out evergreen branches that I used from my Christmas tree, out of my flower boxes.
My biggest surprise came when I ventured to the side of the house, only to find plants sprouting! I do remember there were tiger lilies on the side of the house, but I don’t think that’s what they are. To be quite honest, I do not know what they are. Guess time will tell.
I also surveyed my yard for my next big project in our new house, a vegetable garden. This will be our first attempt at gardening. I have to say that I really do not have a green thumb, but during these economically difficult times, it just makes sense to give it a try. I would like to plant, potatoes, tomatoes, corn, onions, pumpkins, carrots and assorted herbs.
I have yet to even till the land to put in my first garden, but once I break ground, I will write about what I learn and the progress of the garden regularly. In these hard economic times, the “do it yourself” attitude is the way to go. So let’s hope my thumb turns green!
