Not much to report garden-wise this month. We lost our winter garden during the December winter kill, and it’s been too cold, windy, or rainy to do much outdoors. But the daffodils are blooming, and that’s a happy sight.
With all the rain and cold temps, the ground’s too wet to work on swales and swale beds. My garden project on nice days has been to finish bed clean-up and mulching. I’m working on re-mulching some of the aisles too.
The beds are mulched with leaves and the aisles are scraped with a shovel. Then I put down a layer of cardboard and top with woodchips. That will last for about two years, until the weeds start popping through. Then I scrape up the decomposing wood chips, mix them with compost, and spread them in a vacant garden bed to age a bit more.
Next month, I’ll sort through my seeds and make a garden plan.
Anyone have anything going on in their garden?
