Looks like pumpkin growers and birds have similar things in mind around this time of year.   Friday, February 28 View Page My frost hardy cacti in 'winter mode'...just hanging around and, in between, doing nothing just for the sake of having a rest from all of the 'hanging around'.   Friday, February 28 View Page On the busy side of life: Spring has sprung, this little pansy (the first one I´ve discovered this year) is already doing a good job.   Friday, February 28 View Page Another busy site: Did some patch prep (perhaps the earliest patch prep I´ve ever done). Decided to bury the weeds on that part of the patch where I will be sowing some Phacelia flowers soon (maybe next week), the parts of the patch where the pumpkin vines will grow not before June.   Saturday, March 15 View Page Patch today :) Now the weeds are buried, and I have piled up some soil at the plant spots. Right after finishing that part of work, we´ve got some rain (and some snow). Now the soil can settle for the next couple of days, and then (end of March) the plant sites will be covered with clear plastic sheets...the sun needs to warm up the soil.   Wednesday, April 2 View Page Patch today :) Next step of patch prep finished. Last weekend we´ve had some good rain, and now the forecast looks like some sunshine the next couple of days. Just about the right time for getting the plant sites covered with clear plastic, now the sun can do some good work in terms of soil warming. BTW: As some of you may guess, there will be four plants this year. Bonus info: Two of them will be greenies again. :)
