peek of a daffodil

I'm worn out, but as it was 13 this morning, I did motivate myself for a walk.

At the end of the walk I thought that the ground may actually be thawed to plant some seeds.

I was able to hoe the ground well and sprinkled some seeds next to the rosemary plant in the back plant box - black seeded simpson lettuce, radish and spinach. I even put a few spinach leaves at the very front of the new garden closest to the mailbox.

Then walking back, I saw the very top of a daffodil! I did look for crocus and didn't see any growing. The grape Hyacinth are starting to green up!

Maybe tomorrow I'll see if I can put my shower door on one of my box gardens.

To do:
Amend soil behind the house where the pine tree was.
Amend the soil at the north of the new bed (where I planted the spinach)
What to do with all of the leaves in the garden?

15 Feb Scattered some seeds

I didn't make it on Valentine's Day to plant some seeds.

Saturday evening I remembered that I hadn't planted anything yet. So about 5pm I ran outside. I had intended to plant seeds in the back raised garden. I couldn't even get the hoe to scrape anything in that bed.

I ended up scattering some radish, black Simpson lettuce and spinach seeds next to the compost bin and putting some leaves over them.

Today (the 19th), I should try again since we had a very nice thaw yesterday.
