Spring Plowing

I'm thrilled with the possibilities of the extra light from losing the Norway spruce. But, normal maintenance has to happen as well.  I can only get anything done on weekends, and that has to be squeezed in with other things, chores and amusements both. But I'm getting stuff done.

Last weekend was the Northern Virginia Native Plant sale, and I got some trilliums and some hibiscus, and a fern, and some other stuff. Most of it actually got planted right away.  So far this weekend, I've cleaned up the back raised bed and mowed the grass on the back and side, first mowing. It really needed it!

 I hope to get to either Behnkes or at least Takoma Park farmer's market to get the crops in tomorrow. I've done all the prep.

  1. Wow, plus the road race - you have come off the couch with a vengeance! Do you have a plan for what you want to put where, or is the plan dictated by the plants you get and what they require? As usual, Peter and I will mooch off what you learn. No way garden starts at our house, hoping to be back in my bedroom by September, sigh.
