Spring

Spring
The beautiful weather has given us a head start. Let's hope Jack Frost doesn't pay us a visit.

Thinking Time

It is time to think about spring. For those of you who think I am jumping the gun, that is one of the perks of being a gardener. We get to jump the gun on the warmer weather. I love the early planning stages when all things are possible. All things can turn out just as we envision them and that is a special time indeed. I have made a list of seeds that I want to grow this year. I have added beefsteak tomatoes as they were requested quite often last year. This year we should have a small harvest of all things berry. Blue, straw rasp and black were all planted last year and we are hoping this year we will be able to reap what we have sown.
We have planned to increase our ground cherry production. We made a jam last year and it was one of the tastiest. We are also going to sell the berries. Everyone who tastes one thinks they are the best and no two people have agreed on what they taste like. In a pie, jam or right from the husk I think they taste like heaven.
I will keep you updated and when I do my order I will post a list of what I will be growing for the 2011 season.
