Going with onion bulbs this year, too. Got the 100 bulbs of various onion types for $3 at WM - hey it was there, so.....first time I’m trying bulbs. I figured I can get 8-13 in each designated pot (a little closer than prescribed).

Got my eggshells outside - waiting to crush them into soil (yet to be purchased).

My farm-to-table will require a walk of about 8-10 feet - like most years. Well, except for the patch down low. That will be a trip of 15-20 feet.

Too much of the white stuff to be doing any gardening here in Minnesota.

Brought my hand tools up to the rent house this weekend. I’m going to spend the next two days in soil prep then start implementing the ideas you all have given me next weekend.

I had some nice areas enclosed by concrete sidewalks I used for my mint and lemon balm beds when I lived here. Dug up some white yuccas from the “wild area” out back of our new home and I’m going to put those in 2 of those beds. Those yuccas become invasive too but they grow the tall stalk with big white blossoms.

Also have 8 pots chock full of Mexican petunias to bring up next week and some wormwood for ground cover that I dug at home. Have a perfect spot for the bench that TIK suggested and going to put some ornamental grass behind and beside the bench to define and create a suggestion of privacy. Then will grab some bedding annuals to put in front.

Thanks for the ideas y’all :)
