Yesterday we really whooped it up in the family garden! Well, so to speak anyway....We started putting up the plastic covers on the raised beds hoops. Hopefully, this will allow us an early start on the cold crops. So far, we have the strawberry bed covered, with the exception of placing some ties on it to hold the plastic up once the weather starts to gets a bit warmer. I also spent some time moving the strawberry suckers around in the bed so they have more room to grow. Last year they were so crowded that they hung over the boxes onto the ground.... which isn't a bad thing...it just makes it difficult to mow around. My dad is very particular about his lawn so I don't dare make him mad :)We harvested some spinach and green onions from one of the beds yesterday. It's amazing that they went uncovered all winter and still taste so good.
Today is a busy day.... so my post is short....I'm off to make newspaper pots, clean the greenhouse, and hopefully get some more of my pepper seeds started.
