Seed catalogs are arriving and now I need to decide who to get my seeds from. I will be planting the onion seeds and tobacco next week, in starter pots. I should do some tomato plants also. So here we go were off and in to 2011 gardening season. I have decided to start an Etsy store I'm still working on the name and some of the things I will be selling. I will be selling my art work, mostly things made from leather or wood, however, I am leaving that door open for more. I hope that I post more on here, You tube. FB, twitter and my space. I hope I didn't leave anyone out. I'm looking forward to a great and prospers 2011.
Till next time
Happy new Year

Spring 2010
Spring is here, we might get one more spring snow but for the most part the cold days and nights are over for now.
I harvested some asparagus yesterday, about 3 lbs. Made some wonderful soup with it. It is looking like this year will be good for my asparagus. I have three rows they are 1, 2, and 3 years old so I should get just enough for us.
The elephant garlic has nice leaves on them now, and I have some table garlic that I must have missed last year coming up, so we should get some garlic. The onions have started to show along with some of the raspberry. I have decided to only plant ½ the garden in vegetables this year and the rest in herbs and flowers. I planted some field flowers in a area about 20 x 20 I hope that they come up it should be really nice.
I have planted carrots, beats, Swiss chard, and kale. I hope today I can get the beans, peas, and cabbage in the ground. (I know I am running late on that but that is my life right now)
I had a class on trough making, I think it went well. It looked like everyone learned something and had a good time.
Now I have some troughs that I will have to plant up. I will but flowers and herbs in my troughs. I think that troughs just mix up the garden enough to make it fun. If you haven't made a trough yet you may want to give it a try. Troughs are a fun way to garden.
Till next time
