Its warm outside and I'm tired of buying my vegetables at the grocery store. This can only mean one thing: we must garden. Today I got the soil ready for planting. Since our lease is up at the end of June I'm only going to plant spinach and lettuce here. I turned the soil and added compost to half the garden, I guess I'll just leave the other half as it is. It was much easier getting the garden ready this year as compared to last. The soil was still somewhat soft and diggable. I picked up some seeds at Roxbury this afternoon and am planning to plant them in the next day or so. I did not plant any spinach last year which is crazy because I love spinach so much. I'm looking forward to it. Also last year I planted Romaine from starter plants but I'm going to try it from seed and I may get some little plants when the farmer's market opens up. I'm pretty bummed about moving in the middle of the growing season. Especially because the trees that shaded the garden last summer have been cut out, the garden gets amble sun all day now...I could have had the best tomatoes on the block. I'm hoping we can get into a place mid to late May and then possibly I can get something started. This blog may become more about gardening during these warm months. I don't seem to get as much knitting done when its so nice outside.
