Everything is frozen here in Central Missouri. I’m still recuperating from that nasty RTI thing that started the day before Thanksgiving. I feel like I’m fully over the illness now. Just need to get my strength back. I tried to split some firewood yesterday and that lasted about ten minutes. Hopefully by next weekend I’ll have more gas for that kind of thing.
I’m starting to think about what I want to do in the kitchen garden this year. My old back has been telling me that bending over isn’t fun anymore, and that it’s time to build some raised beds, so I’ve been pondering lately how I might want to go about doing that.
I’ve been wanting to put up a greenhouse for a number of years, and now that the pond renovation is coming to an end I’m starting to consider what, exactly, I want to get out of it so I can do it right the first time.
I thought I noticed some garlic peeking out of the ground as I was leaving for work this morning, but I was running late and didn’t stop to look closer.
My favorite spaces are the raised beds next to our patio retaining wall. I can stand on the patio and the wall is waist high as is the dirt.
That wall steps down several times, but at least I can sit on it and not have to bend over too much. In the regular garden spots, which I mostly leave to Hubby, but when I do something there, I turn a 5 gallon bucket over and sit on it.
I’d like to see all of the garden plots be at least 2 ft. tall. LOL
