The weather turned mild this past 24 hours, so I was able get out into the garden to work today. The chore was made more pleasant by the fact that the first daffodils were out. These cheery little guys are just the wild variety not posh ones, but they are always a welcome site.
The First Daffodils
The problem was the they were difficult to see because of the pile of mulch and topsoil that was left over from last year. So today we moved the topsoil to finish the heirloom rose bed, and I shifted some mulch too, so that I can see the blooms from the kitchen.
I also took a peak at the vegetable bed, and decided that somehow we need to make it bigger, and maybe edge it with some cedar timbers. I have a thought that two smaller raisedbeds on the side of the main bed would be great for carrots and potatoes, as well as keep the tomatoes and peppers in better control. I will see how far we get with that plan though!
