Last week I planted a few "Little Gem" lettuce seeds I received from my brother Richard. Today I noticed that I had a few perfect "Little Gem" leaves in my raised bed. I was so excited!
I took the top off my raised bed (a frame covered in plastic) and planted two rows of white onions, a row of spinach and two rows of mixed greens. My hope is that I will be able to make a salad the last week of April.
My daffodils were hiding under old maple leaves, so I raked them off and added them to my compost. I trimmed my old lavendar and cut my Russian Sage stems to about seven inches. Sedum is started to show its waxy green leaves among last year's stalks- so I cleaned out the old to make room for the new.
I really didn't do much outside today- but it made a difference in how the yard looks already! And it felt so good to be playing in the dirt. Speaking of dirt...I saw no worms...where do they spend the winter?
Oh yes.....ouch....my gardening muscles are sore from lack of use over the winter.
