Well, hidey-ho everyone, long time no see, : )
Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time, so much to do and so little time.
Spring work has been progressing at a fairly nice pace, weather hasn't been cooperating as much as we'd like, but we get out there when able.
Much of this time has been spent weeding and getting plots ready. As for transplanting, first up on the agenda is to move some mugwort cuttings, the space it's in now does fine for a month or two, but as soon as the tree leafs out nearby the mugwort is in the shade too much and goes leggy rapidly so remember to plant your Mugwort in a nice sunny spot, : )
We'll be offering fresh-cut flower bouquets roadside this season so lots of work needs to be done to accomplish that. DH has been working to get glad bulbs and planting the seeds for various annuals, me, my heart isn't that in it yet, LOL but I have been working on the beds that will be donated to this cause.
Several of our raised beds are made of stainless steel, I need to get out there and get them painted OR-better idea, pay the children to do the job, but then I'd have to worry about the mess/splatter, so haven't really come to a final decision in that regard yet, but soon!
The main walkway beds are in a low area and we think this year we will lay a layer of straw in the paths first then top with mulch. I need to find a new supplier for cocoa hulls locally, if anyone knows of any large chains that offer these, let me know would you? thanks.
Hope you all are busy gardening, get out there and get dirty!
Out for now, weeds are calling to me, : )))
