So, I went back over my gardening journals from last year, and I saw that by 10 April 2010 I'd already gotten the garden cleaned and tilled and I'd planted:
Sunflowers
Beets
Carrots
Potatoes
Beans
Turnips
(snow peas were planted in March!)
I'd also gotten my peppers, squash (Pumpkins, Zucchini, etc), and tomato starts into pots on the sun-porch.
Today is 13 April, how much have I gotten accomplished?
Well, the garden is cleared, but not tilled. No little pots of potential veggies are set up on the sun porch, no peas are in the ground...
Either I'm slacking or the weather has been complete shit, or maybe a bit of both.
Today, it's going to be rainy and cold, so I won't be playing dig in the dirt, but there is still a lot of work to be done in the house, so I'm going to be getting that accomplished.
For me, it's better to get the work in the house done - all my spring cleaning - THEN I can feel free to garden without guilt.
One more thing - the rooster, he's gone. No...not dead and gone, but "gone to live on a farm" - he was so noisy, there was just no way I could keep him up here without having some problems with the neighbors.
I'm glad I found him a good home.
More tomorrow -
