Here’s to another year of gardening! It’s a late start this year due to life’s ever-so-timely intervention, but I’m sure it’ll be another good one. The beds are currently full of weeds, and we’re debating the rental of a soil cutter and rear-tine tiller to prep the ground again this year.Our first step was to plant over 100 seeds indoors! With our daughter’s help, we planted a wide variety of vegetables and flowers that I hope I can find room for! In addition, we’re continually adding more bulbs to the front garden to make it as low-maintenance as possible for our parents. We’ve been doing some companion planting the past two years, and I hope to continue by adding silvermound and marigolds as well as some great “lure” plants like dill and sunflowers for those beneficial insects! As always, I start out the spring with big intentions and over the course of the next couple of months we’ll see what is truly feasible. We’ll see how it goes!
