The weather has been beautiful lately so we seized the opportunity to get some ground prep done. This pic is from fairly early in the process before it was seeded with a number of low growing companion plants to help combat weeds, bring in friendly insects, and help build healthy soil. In a few weeks it should be established enough to start transplanting and seeding with other things.

    Ah! It’s so exciting!

    My ground is still frozen, and snow is everywhere. Today is to be warm though! Very excited to growing season this year!

    Your plot looks so nice!

      Yuuuuuuuus. I keep an indoor garden year round but all of a sudden I can’t wait to get started outdoors again. The bug doesn’t usually bite this hard this early lol.

      The grass and weeds have been growing for a bit already so I’m taking that as nature trying to tell me to get my ass going. There’s a slight chance that we might see one last surprise frost but I think we’ll be ok. Everything temperature sensitive is still safely indoors just in case though.

      Your plot looks so nice!

      Thank you! 💚 I’m fortunate to have very caring friends who offered to share and help out. There’s no way I could do everything myself with hand tools or even power tools. Thanks to them we have a beautiful space to nurture and enjoy together.

    Love it! And not just because I have a closet and a room full of starts and young trees while there’s still 2+ feet of snow everywhere.

      I totally didn’t convert part of our home into a permanent place to overwinter trees and other plants. Nope.

      Another case of plant addiction… Unfortunately there’s no cure.
      Don’t forget to adopt another plant you don’t have space for every time you leave home…

        This is completely reasonable to do. It’s maybe another week or so until every window in the place has a folding table covered in plants as well.

        I’m already required to take either the dog or the toddler with me when I go anywhere, just so I can only bring home half as much. It’s only a matter of time til I have to bring them both
