March has arrived, and garden work has commenced in earnest. It’s been great yardwork weather, and I’ve found it really satisfying spending time outside and getting things order.
Fruit trees out back are pruned
as are all the roses
but there’s still a lot of work to be done on Big Apple
Today we distributed a bunch of our compost around to various growing locations-
Looks like a really nice rich, well-cooked batch. I’m hoping that it will set us up for a productive garden season!
I’ve also chosen my tomato varieties for the year: Cuor di Bue Albenga, German Pink, Jaune Flamme, Brad’s Atomic Grape, Cherokee Purple, Martino’s Roma
I’m starting seeds a little later this year, as last year I think that my peppers and eggplants got off to really slow starts due to cold weather. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s only early March, even if it’s been 50F outside the last couple of days!
Indoor pursuits are coming along as well- Candelaria is well on it’s way to having one sleeve
Another band completed-
And dove into the embroidery floss stash to come up with a plan for the next!
Bringing a little rainbow energy to the band weaving this week. 🙂
You are way ahead of me, as usual, with starting seeds. But at least we got the pruning done. I love that new rainbow band. I didn’t realize you could use embroidery yarn for this. I do have a stash of that I may need to look at now.
