So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
Jorge Luis Borges
Last weekend with the car for a while… more soil and some bits and pieces. Gardening without a car isn’t exactly practical…
Not much happening just yet – it’s still cold, or more than anything, windy – but small, steady steps toward spring. Trellises for the raised beds, almond potatoes set out for sprouting (just need to cover them up later – I’ve got a second batch for a couple weeks from now…). The mint is back in the pots. There’s still some frost in the forecast, but just a few nights and only just below zero, so they should manage. I know they survived winter – whether they’ll look nice again… that remains to be seen.
And besides that… it was Milano-San Remo. The neighbor’s new kitten escaped. I put together a 120-minute spin class. And cleaned… productive day 🙂
Most importantly… first cup of tea on the deck for 2019!
