Alright, it's that time again! It's the beginning of Spring and it's also time to get ready to plant. As you all know I have moved across the country and this is going to be a whole new learning experience for all of us (I live with friends). Let's start by saying that it is still cold out and yesterday we had flurries, yes...you read right...flurries, in April no less. Sigh...feel my pain? By now in Ca I would have already planted at least one bed. Patience, patience.
Okay, new place, new plan. Here we have to pest proof. We have a fenced off space that was a "dog run" so-to-speak. Great for keeping the "pests" out. Pests here are deer, squirrels, moles, rabbits and all those cute animals that apparently will dig, eat and destroy your veggie garden. As cute and adorable as they are, I don't want to walk out one morning after all the hard work only to find a mind field of what used to be a garden! Anyway, it's a good place to plant.
Some work is being done to the area first. There were some trees taken out and it needs some drainage and a retaining wall will be added to delineate two spaces. My best friend and I have some great ideas for the space and I will be sharing all of it step by step. Stay tuned for pics.
