gfrancieI went outside and got my dose of vitamin D and also feel a touch less groggy. Even Senor Onion got some Vitamin D. No rickets for us!
I also planted the last of some tulips/daffodil bulbs that were lingering in a cupboard. I planted them around the edge of the herb bed. Let's encourage those bees next Spring.
Watered some wintering plants, shored up the leeks a bit and then transplanted the last of the strawberry plants to the new extended bed. About three years ago I bought four tiny start strawberry plants and I also bought a different variety of strawberry plant earlier this year. Things have sort of exploded so that there are now dozens of plants. I am thinking that next Spring I may have to thin things out a bit and maybe sell/give away a bunch of strawberry starters. Or maybe I will just extend the bed some more and have an ENORMOUS strawberry bed. I am sure my Mother is quite proud of me.
I have started mulching/killing the grass for some new beds; mainly what will be a potato bed for next year. Much of this is trial and error gardening and sometimes just letting things be and seeing what might happen.
