Mother Nature has been very accommodating, using her maternal senses to water my flourishing garden. Yay!
The recommendation of planting in square foot gardening, two to three seeds per hole is the only thing I’ve found that wasn’t deemed necessary. Buying seeds from a reputable nursery seems to be the key component to successful gardening. Purchasing in previous years from a grocery store rack, I can truly attest to the importance of where you buy your seeds.
My wonderful husband put up the copper poles and netting as my beans and peas have fully awakened. It is with great anticipation I wait for the first harvesting. Of course I might be jumping ahead of myself… the battle of bugs and critters has yet to unfold, but most certainly a war will rage. One of the prices of living in the country.
I’d like to add that my nursery tours with Lisa have been delightful. We have walked quite a few, each offering something different. As far as favorites? All rated high on the scale, but any mother will attest that a day with there daughter is magic in itself! Now I’ve got some planting to do…
Today, amongst my household duties and work I managed to prune several plants of which were battered from our Northwest winter. My husband recently had ordered five yards of composted soil, replenishing beds built on rocky ground. Most certainly one of the biggest challenges when growing anything other then that which can only survive in rock gardens. With Spring fast approaching, reclaiming flower beds that have been invaded by weeds and moles becomes my top priority. Wow, there’s a lot of work ahead of me as the seasons change. We here in the Northwest have such an array of plants that offer spectacular flowers and foliage my excitement continues to grow as winter is about to pass. Yay! If you haven’t clicked on the site of Lisa’s last post I recommend that you do! Watson’s Nursery offers a mini tour and makes me want to shout, “Hey Lisa, next time wait for me!”
