A Tale of Two Weekends



Well last weekend it felt as though spring had come early; the sun was shining and I was out in the garden continuing my project. As you are all aware, this year, my goal is to grow as much fruit and vegetables as I possibly can. Next year, I would like to try and grow everything for myself, if I can’t grow it, I can’t have it; but that is a long way off and let’s take one step at a time.

Last weekend I managed to finish the three raised beds in the vegetable section of my garden. I also managed to complete one compost bin and started the frame for a leaf mould bin. It was a good productive weekend and I felt invigorated and excited about the coming seasons. I could not wait for this weekend to arrive, as I work all week and there is not enough light on week nights to get out in the garden.

However, much to my dismay; when I woke up this morning, a thick layer of snow was on the ground and there was thick snow falling. My excitement dissipated and worry started to set in; I am running out of time to get jobs finished. Also my Rhubarb crowns arrived yesterday and they need to go into the ground!!!!!!

Oh well, I suppose there is nothing I can do. I do have an outhouse, so I may go and do some more woodwork today out of the cold, trying to get as much done as possible to make my life easier. I also have some more seed planning to complete; so it could be a day by the fire with a cuppa and a pencil and paper; we will see.

Anyway before I go I will leave you with a few pretty pictures. Snow is very picturesque but it is a pain in the backside!!!
