I have many new additions to my garden this year. I just kind of acquired them over the winter at various "antique" shops and at a garden store that closed. I can't resist a good deal and now, as the weather has turned, I'm faced with getting them in place for the new season. I am determined to get them completed so it will take a little elbow grease and some cooperating weather for sure.
I seriously have to sit down and map out my garden plans as an unplanned garden can get out of control very fast. I start a majority of my own plants from seeds since I tend to like varieties that aren't necessarily sold in my area. I love to start plants as it is, for me, very rewarding to go from seedling to a maturely grown plant. One of my best from last year was the watermelons I grew. They were the best we had all season. I took one to a family picnic and it was a huge success. People are starting to ask me what I am going to be growing this year and whether I think I will have excess this or that. I tend to share my bounty with others but this year, my wife and I are going to attempt to preserve our crops for over the winter. So this year is going to be different than most.
Well, I've digressed here a little. Hope everyone has a great week. Happy Gardening!
