I agreed to move to Idaho on the condition that I could have a yard and a garden. We have a large yard, and we are now making our own gardens!
This is the start of our vegetable garden two years ago after removing grass, moving the fence and a couple of sprinkler heads, building the boxes (and filling them with soil!) and mulching all around. Each year it grows with great anticipation. Evenings are spent with a glass of wine and a ‘garden tour,’ inspecting each plant and the progress from the day before. What a joyful way to decompress from the day! And last year we had a record harvest, to boot!
So, once again, the snow is gone and spring has arrived. My little seedlings are started. I may have jumped the gun in planting the greens, onions and carrots in the beds and perhaps they washed away in that last rainstorm last week. If so, no worries, I will relish the time to plant again!
I am now looking forward to a couple of weeks from now when we can transplant the tomatoes and peppers outside. Anticipation at each step. Yet the garden teaches me patience.
Happy sowing! 🙂
