Spring Fever

 





As the days start getting longer 
I start thinking about gardening. 
The weather is much too cold 
to do anything yet 
but I can plan and start 
a few seeds inside. 




This year I've decided 
to do a garden journal. 




I haven't done one 
in several years, 
it is fun and it's a good way 
to record what worked 
and what didn't work. 



I purchase some seeds 




And I save some. 


I'm cutting the size 
of my garden way down this year. 
Instead of rows I redid 
the whole garden and made four 
small beds leaving room
for a small fountain and a bench.

I did this last fall.
can you believe it I used
42 bags of beauty mulch!



Well that's what I've 
been doing as I dream of Spring. 
 
I love going out in the backyard 
and picking fresh vegetables 
and I love watching the process 
from seed, to tiny sprout, to fruitful plant. 

 

Consider the lilies of the field, 
how they grow; 
they neither toil nor spin, 
yet I tell you,  
not even Solomon in all his glory 
was arrayed like one of these.  

Matthew 6:28 and 29

  1. It's so wonderful to dream of Spring! We can't wait to see things start popping up. Right now everything is still under at least 6 inches of snow. I love your journal!

    1. I hope so, I had to replant my large yellow slicing tomatoes, I don't know why they didn't sprout like the little pear tomatoes did.
