Pinging the list.

Been really wet here since Wednesday. So since I have to sit to do my gardening because of the polio I haven’t gotten anything done other than in the green house. But! Earlier in the week I got 60 of the tomato plants set out and the corn planted which is up already! The beans are about 3 inches tall, the carrots look really good, the celery is up, we will eat the first lettuce from outside tonight, and the tomatoes in the greenhouse have tomatoes on! Oh, and the watermelon and acorn squash are up and growing well! So all in all a little late this year but doing well!

In the low 70's here in west Michigan. Spring is finally here. Daffodils starting to open. I am way ahead of the game this year. Maybe it's the 19 pounds I lost in the fall. I have all the roses pruned, some bark chips spread, garden tilled once ( 2 more times to go). Spread out the compost from the new bin we got last year. I was impressed everything had broken down except for one egg shell. I am taking pictures this year. It's a slower process than most people to post. Camera to old desktop to photobucket to FR. Started up a new compost layer in the bin with some old barn cleanout from the goats, wasted hay, straw and manure. I'll throw in some leaves yet and I'm good to go. No asparagus showing yet. Lettuce going good in my big pot with the plexiglas cover. I uncover during the day. Also got my onion sets. Even though I use the walking onions, I like to have green onions handy in a pot outside on the patio. Whatever I have in the pot, I put a ring of green onions around it at the very edge of the pot. I haven't started any seedlings yet, I'll probably do just the russian tomatoes and buy the rest.
Have a couple of bigger projects planned for this summer, one is painting the barn. Picked up some new rough cut cedar 1X4 trim for one of the doors that the goats chewed up a little. As I get older every spring seems more glorious.
