Did very late fall clean up over Winter Break. When most of the country has been suffering from subzero temps we have had mild clear days. Crazy weather.

On one old woodland bed that was shade by the long gone filbert trees we finished moving ferns and hellebores. I laid cardboard and covered them with bark mulch for a veggie garden area. The big old ferns filled in one bed and the hellebores will bring a few more blooms into the new woodland area.

Transplanted two blueberry bushes close to the walkway/patio. They are in an area next to the veggie area to conserve watering chores. Maybe a couple of more blueberry bushes? This bed will be a nice sunny area.

I am collecting materials for a cold frame/green house. Hope to have a protected growing area constructed this summer since our summers are usually so cool and damp. This may be far beyond our building skills but I am willing to try.

Veggie area prep

Trying to get idea of layout for cold frame/green house area. It may just be more of a raised bed this first year.

If this stormy wind blows through tonight maybe I can get out there this week end and do a little dreaming.
