oh dear – time to start thinning the seedlings. I must be brave. I also received 10 more packs of seed that I forgot I had ordered.

Spring brings back all of the excitement of growing we’ve missed all winter! I love that you recycle your rabbit waste into the garden beds. Free and so good for the soil! We’re hoping to add a bunny to our family of pets very soon and maybe a few chickens. There will be lots more compost for the garden!

Lisa,
Love all this extra advice! Sometimes I forget certain things and you have reminded me of a few! I love the design of your scissors! Super cute! I save all the rabbit poo from the winter months and scatter it over my garden and till it in! Rabbit poo works great. This year I am trying Alpaca poo! Im exciteid to get gardening and dirty!
Happy Gardening!
Jenn

Thanks! I thought it might be helpful to have a list of chores each month to guide new (or seasoned) gardeners along. I’m glad you think it’s helpful!

Fickle month of March! I’ve sown peas and favas with a layer of brush atop the beds. No heavy rains, nor snow, nor hail, nor frost will keep these plants from their determined climb in to the sunshine. (I hope!)

Such rascally weather spring brings! Last week was clear and sunny and I almost sowed seeds b/c I got all the beds ready. Yesterday it snowed, hailed and rained. Today thick frost.
Anyone want to sell me a pound of patience?

Your little seedlings look so happy! I can’t wait to get out in the garden this spring. My raised beds are still frozen!
