Well it was 21 here this morning and high of 40. Forecast 1-2" snow tomorrow and rain for Friday. SO - we took off for Lowe's and got a new self-propelled mower, 30 -40# bags of top soil, 20-40# bags of compost manure (didn't need that when we had cows), and 12-3 Cu ft bags of peat moss. Plus lots of other garden needs. Then we came home and unloaded the truck, took a break, then tilled both gardens - they were nice and dry. We got our seed potatoes and will plant them maybe Thursday if the snow doesn't soak everything too much. Well, we are getting started anyway.

I hope to really get a lot more done in my garden, this week. I planted a few seeds in little cups this week end but that's about all. I hope winter is giving some of ya'll a break.

Those young plants look good. We have a lot of seedlings too. Watching a seed sprout is real neat. Straw berries are supposed to be able to take real cold weather, I hope you didn't loose any. I lost a bunch to rabbits, that's why we fenced in the whole area. I hate having to pay for things twice.

We have some seeds started in the house

That sounds great Robert. We have some Strawberry plants planted from last year, hope they didn't die out with this hard winter.

I just finished planting a 4' x 8' box with 18 Strawberry plants, next is some Blueberry and Raspberry plants. We have plenty of Dew and Black berries that grow around the place so we should have plenty of berries for everyone. Berries are real good for you, I've read somewhere.

  Billy, that sounds like a great start. I love potatoes and onions. Keep us posted on your garden.

I've got a couple of 30' rows of red taters planted along with a row of red and white onions. It's still too early to plant much else in OK.

We have started planting everything slowly. I think the girls are enjoying gardening more as they grow older.

Joyce has all her flowers started as well as the tomatoes - about 60 degree here today, but it will be a good month before anything gets in the ground.

Only the top layer of the ground is thawed.  We sill have ice about four inches below the surface.  I'd be planting in mud!   I'm afraid to walk on the grass for fear of ruining it.
