Spring is trying to gain a foothold here in Pennsylvania. The piles of snow have melted away leaving grass trying to perk up and mud everywhere. We’ve had some 60-degree days, but the nights often dip to the teens. Still too early to even think about messing in the garden!
Garden preparations are still in a holding pattern, but it doesn’t mean we can’t plan! The tomato seeds have been started in the shop:
The seeds have been purchased and the garden diagram has been sketched out.
The raised garden planter has been sealed (with a sealer that had a brown stain included by mistake!) and is ready for lettuce and radishes.
Bert added two patio planters for my spinach and radicchio.
I invested in a set of stacking pots for strawberries like this one:
Finally, I made a list of all the plants we anticipate growing so I can figure out what kind of garden markers I want to make.
Last year I used old wine corks and wood skewers, but they didn’t last very long and were hard to write on. The skewers were too skinny and would fall over when it rained. I needed them to identify the colors of the echinacea flowers when I was collecting seeds and the markers were on the ground and almost unreadable. Not helpful!
This year I’m thinking of making something out of polymer clay. We’ll see! Another project to keep me entertained until it’s time to plant! Enjoy!

You are inspiring me to start something indoors! I’ll be following your progress!
Stop by the next time you come to pick up Luca to check our progress!
