Every morning, I don my plastic boots and walk over to the garden.
I check for pests, for marauders, for thirst.
So far, so good. Cross our fingers, knock on wood.
We spread a top dressing of mushroom compost.
I don't know if this will influence the outcome but it was obviously too late to till.
That big oval light spot? It's where we ran out of compost.
I pull a little weed here, a little weed there.
As summer draws near, I understand they won't be so little.
And I'll be in a fierce battle to keep garden wreckers at bay.
But for now I'm enjoying
the tranquility on
Whippoorwill Road.
Love,
Farmer Jane
all's well. :)

I can't wait till I can start planting in my garden. After Mother's day is the safe date here in Colorado. I do have some plants started indoors to give them a bit of a head start!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks great!
Looks good, soil is nice and black now like it should be. :)

Hi Bernadine, so nice to meet you. Your garden looks so good, and I so agree about how an early garden is easy to keep, but as the weather warms and the rains bring the weeds , as a matter of fact I am looking at one of my gardens as I write this and am so amazed at the weeds that have come since last week. lol i am a little to tired this evening to work them because I have been painting this week.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking around your blog and am enjoying it so much.
Thank you so much for visiting me and for taking the time to leave me such a sweet note.
Sue
