err... almost. Once we have respite from all the rain that is pouring down like no tomorrow in the east coast and giving us a glimpse of the Indian monsoon, which I love by-the-way...
I digress...
Spring means a a lot of garden work, weeds blooming in contention, appreciating N for all this lawn mowing efforts et all... With my particular disaster of vegetable garden last year - I managed to save one tomato, amidst tomato, okra, bell peppers, cilantro plants. I blame it on the hail storm that hit northern Mass.. but in reality, I was stretching my green-thumb-dreams too far - So moral of the story; this year i have decided to experiment only tomato and try the upside down plant instead of pots. So with the 70s weather this weekend, you know where I will be spending most of my time!
So has anyone begun the spring-prep? Here are a few things I am planning on doing/done -
* Found a farm nearby for the strawberry/rasberry/apple/peach pickings ( 6 miles away ) Lots of baking in the offing!
* Closing in on a grill purchase. Will send out invites for a barbecue weekend once thats done.
* Ready with my tomato seedlings/pots/starting soil/ potting mix et all... The first bout of sunshine this week and they are getting planted.
* Find trekking / hiking trails nearby. Bike purchase is indefinitely postponed.
* Gear up for the 5K in june!
So have your SPRUNG your list?
------------------------------------
On another note, anyone got ideas for a new event on the blog? Baking is going great, we can have another event running in paralell.. Let me know if anyone has got some ideas.
