Getting Ready
Here in the northwest it appears that we will have an early spring. January was the warmest on record. Every type of plant seems to be in the pre-spring mode with new shoots coming out of the ground and growth buds and existing vines and limbs starting to grow.
Getting ready for the new season takes some planning. Cece has already started buying her spring plantings and I know that I need to get moving on the new raised beds or I will, once again, be behind the curve.
We have not given much thought to evergreens throughout the yard and gardens. As a result our yard really is dead and deserted. Just a few evergreens would give some winter definition to the yard. This is a topic that Cece and I need to explore more deeply as we get into the gardening mode and the weather continues to get warmer.
