It's been awhile...

Well, a year and a half later, I'm back at it. The gardens have expanded. So has our family! The 2007 gardening season was a wash. I spent most of my time keeping Bean alive. Which has worked out very well so far! I'm eagerly looking forward to the 2008 growing season, because it means more time for getting out and playing in the mud.

The woodland garden is an abandoned project. The thorny vines and incredibly persistent grass, coupled with the tons of fallen leaves made it impossible to keep. So I've been slowly moving plants from there up into other gardens.

The front garden bed has been expanded, and plans are in place to make an even larger woodland garden bed in the very front of the yard. All we need is some topsoil. And a few hours of backbreaking work.

I'm just twitching to start my seedlings for spring planting. But am trying to control myself. I don't think I'll make it to April!
