my sap is rising. i can feel spring in my bones. i sorted our seed packets this past weekend and bought some storage tubs to make into self-watering containers. someone linked to a plan to make a garden out of a wading pool, which is really awesome because we've had this wading pool in our backyard waiting to be trashed for the last year or two, haha. now we can make it into something beautiful and useful! erin suggested we make it an herb garden. i like that idea :)
speaking of herbs, our rosemary is still alive, and so is our sage. nice. i love perennials.
i ordered 5 lb of wheat and 5 lb of barley seed to do a little greening of some abandoned land i walk past on my way home. first step is to clean up the garbage in the plots, which might happen as soon as it stops being 15F out there. brrrrrr. we saw some snow flurries yesterday, which was Very Exciting, but it didn't lie on the ground more than an hour or so (making it rather Less Exciting).
my goal in 2008 is for me not to get bored with the gardening, and for me to start biking anywhere that i go alone.
