I am soooo ready! This Winter has been colder than usual, more days than usual. Today, thankfully, the sun is out and we're in the 70s.
Yesterday, hubby set my planters up against trellis by the car port, so I planted peas and kiwi grapes in them. We already have some tomatoes planted down in the field, and I've got canteloupes and peppers starting in biodegradeable pots, so my "planting season" is underway.
Hubby picked up a plum tree at Tractor Supply, so that's now also down in the field, near the vitex cannibifolia (the butterfly/bee attracting tree). We have more potted gardenias to plant out , and hubby has sprinkled wildflower seeds down there as well. We hope to get our bees soon. For his birthday, I got him an assortment of beekeeping equipment, so we are almost ready. Meantime, we're trying to create a bee haven around the stream/pond area that he's been working on for awhile now.
We spent much of Summer gleaning rocks and stones from local building sites, as land was being cleared. They were only too happy to let us help ourselves, as they have to pay when they take them to landfills.
I'm hoping Spring will bring us more chances to get on and do everything. My great-grands love to mow, so that's a help. Now that they are older, they get into other things as well, so I can commandeer them sometimes.
I'm thankful for the warmer weather, most definitely!
