Amen. I have a lot of things on my list too. And here it is, 7pm and the sun is just starting to fade from the sky. Another 20 minutes and it will be dark. At least I can work in the basement on getting seeds started.

Tom,
It's 10pm here and I just got in from the garden shed, planting more seeds! I really need more daylight. I thought about turning the floods on, but I guess I will wait until morning.

I envy everyone for their To Do lists. Of course I can make one too, but hey I'm not so methodical as you guys are. You seem to have an inexhaustible store of it! Good luck and Happy Spring!

Thank you for visiting my blog and for the advice on seed-starting! My husband is relieved it will be so cheap and easy to add some warmth!

Good heavens, did you get all of that done? To answer your question from my blog, YES, I think camellias and rhododendrons would do really well in a shaded eastern exposure. Is your soil acid? Just be careful around house foundations because the soil can be very alkaline there.

ah, the joys of spring! Work, work, work and more work! I completely understand how you feel, the garden is full of God's wonderful creation, it is just way hard to maintain! Good luck on getting your stuff done!

Yep, you have got quite a list to do there. I scribble down lists like that but it is because I would forget if I didn't, not that I am forgetful or anything :-)

Organizing the Garden Shed

Image
The garden shed has been finished for months now, but I have been so busy in the garden that I haven't had time to get the inside organized. So, I devoted an entire day to this task, and I actually enjoyed it! I wanted to create a cozy inviting place to sit and read, or hide, for taking pictures of the birds as they visit the garden for a tasty treat. I also wanted it to be functional, so that I can attend to my gardening projects such as repotting, starting seeds and overwintering some of my plants. I have a few more things add, but for now I think it will do. come on in and take a look. I love this pillow, I picked it up at an estate sale. cozy reading nook storage for some of my tools Grazle, My first visitor, just checking things out. My Barn Star

Blogs Blogs and More Blogs

Today is a regular off day for me so I decided to head on over to Blotanical and see whats been going on. I have met so many kind gardeners there, and everyone has something to share, so many helpful ideas and tips to use in the garden. It seems every day several more new garden blogs appear, and this is a good thing. It means that people are searching for something more, that they feel a desire to get back to nature and all that this wonderful earth offers us. We get so caught up in the day to day grind that we have somehow forgotten along the way what it is to relax and do things that we enjoy. Gardening is such a rewarding form of relaxation. Now I didn't say that there is no labor involved, because I am here to tell you that you will get your workout, hauling dirt and rocks, compost and mulch. Not to mention all of those plants that you just bought, you will probably at the least make 3-4 trips around the garden trying to decide the perfect spot. Then you have to dig all of th...

The Garden Journal

Image
I began keeping a garden journal several years ago, It was just a regular journal with blank pages. I kept a record of my purchases and receipts. I noted rain dates and frost dates. I refer back to it from time to time. I often forget about plants that have gone dormant, until in the spring when I get out digging around and my spade strikes a bulb. Then I remember. A journal helps me with that as well. I found a wonderful journal from Lee Valley Tools, and my mother surprised me with it for my birthday! ( I just haven't had time to post about it. shhh ) , Any howsey, it is a beautifully crafted 10 yr journal with 541 pages. It has no pre printed years, so you can begin it at any time. I was so thrilled with it, I just had to share .
