Brag away! I love to think that somewhere, someone is gardening -- all the time
!
I've even picked out my location in the southern hemisphere where I could turn up the 1st of October for another season of growing
. But, it is nearly April. That's the opposite of October 1st
!
I used to claim that March was my Month for Cultivation. I could never finish; especially because it used to take me 3 weeks. Then, I turned over the
turning over of the big garden to the "Tractor Guy." (That has meant that there have been
late Aprils when I've been
desperate to get him in there! :/)
Well, this year . . . once again, March is on its way out and I haven't been able to
start! But, I got a jump on things last fall by having completed the little veggie garden. And, I think we will just let cultivating the cutting garden go this spring.
That's an advantage of growing ALL the dahlias there last year and moving the other flower beds off to be neighbors in the big veggie garden. With years of
input to the soil in the cutting garden and digging out (carefully) dahlia roots in October -- I really just need to work in some fertilizer,
straighten out the ground, and punch planting holes with the posthole digger (aka: the most hated tool on the farm
).
Ah, the
straightening out of the ground . . . it will be a lot of work everywhere, that I always underestimate! Especially after that Tractor Guy gets finished messing up the big veggie garden!
