Well, the garden has started to wake up, and I've dusted off the camera. I have a good feeling about this year.

We started the season with 4 yards of mushroom compost delivered. After you pay the delivery fee, the stuff seems so cheap, but perhaps 4 was a wee bit much. Well, it would have been the perfect amount with a little left over, but I was in such a hurry to move the pile out of the driveway, I became a little resentful...

Which leads to my biggest distraction this spring, the garage.












I still don't have a roof on it, and the paint is peeling.....into the garden. I have big plans for this shack, and will post updates.


The asparagus popped up, and despite 3 of the 5 purple crowns not coming up, things are looking.....delicious.

Cedar!!! Your garden is going, "CHOO-CHOO!" It is so inspiring and amazing to see the fun documentation! My hand me down cucumbers are fruiting but so bitter. It looks like too much nitrogen from my comfrey compost tea. Needed nightshade/tomato food instead! I have a line of cucumbers next to the bed so I can look at them.
