I'm entering a new decade taking on the challenge of moving from Maryland after living there 46 years and learning about my new home here in New England in the Live Free or Die state - New Hampshire. Join me as a write this new chapter of my life.

Planting

 I spent a couple of hours outside on Monday. Temperatures were conducive to yard work-I cleaned up three flower beds. 


I also started some more milk jug greenhouses with sunflowers, marigolds, cosmos, basil and a second seeding of cilantro. Of the six I started in February only one shows sprouts. Not sure which it is. 

In my raised bed I added compost and planted two kinds of snow peas and two kinds of lettuce. 

Rain in our forecast for the rest of the week but maybe next week I’ll get out again when granddaughters 3 and 4 are here. 

I’m hoping to see more sprouts once I return from travels in April.

How wonderful all these sound, making me appreciate how delicious they will be!

It all sounds so good. You are way ahead of me! I wanted to plant today, but Larry wanted to weed-eat around that garden, so I did not want to be peppered with clippings and dirt. But I am just itching to get out there.

Planting season is getting closer. We’ll get rain too. Some of it might be freezing rain. I hope it doesn't come to that.
