Welcome to a new year and a new garden season! I have a few confessions to make...
Since my last post, I have probably written a dozen or more posts that just never got posted...for no particular reason. I can say that I have been busy (I had two days off the entire month of February, for example), I have been bored, I felt conceited after finishing what I wanted to write about...the list goes on and on. I think it boils down to I have a tendency to not follow through with anything, because I am already thinking of the next few things. Right now I am making the commitment to myself and to you, the rare dear reader, to keep up with my blog. My goal right now is a post a week, hopefully two.
My next confession....is that my garden looks no better this year than last year. Because of a crazy work schedule, I started my seedlings very late...and managed to get my garden tilled on time. After waiting patiently for the last spring frost, I plunked my little darlings in the ground. Over the next three weeks, we had no less than six more frosts, and hard ones at that. It was the last of these, one night where the temp dropped down to ten degrees below the forecasted temperature that nipped all my seedlings in the bud.
Not to be deterred....I bought plants. Gophers ate them, my barn cats dug them up...you name it. It has rained every two days for the past three weeks...you could bale the grass in my yard right now!
I am determined to wrestle at least something from my garden this year...we will have to see what turns out to be!
