It’s time to plan out what seeds I need for spring. Seed starting will be a little late this year as I set my house to rights, but I still plan to have my gardens. In fact, I need to do a few things in them that I didn’t get to in the fall – pruning vines and taming overgrown growth while the plants are dormant. I think I’ll spend a little time each day this week puttering in my winter-dormant gardens, getting ready for spring. It’ll be therapeutic.
Once I can work the soil, I’ll be amending my garden beds with organic material (rabbit poo). There’ll be my favorite sugar snap peas and probably string beans too. This year I’m probably going to grow carrots and zucchini, my favorite tomato varieties and some other veggies. I’m looking forward to that.
I’m debating getting a compost tumbler. I definitely believe it would be a good idea, but it is an added cost during an unexpectedly challenging year and I really don’t know if I’ll still be in the house next year. I can plan for spring, but I can’t plan for the future. Not yet.
