Hot and Cold

 

The season moves quickly. The week started with near record high temperatures reaching into the mid-high '80's. Today, I'm looking outside at a light coating of snow, which has been threatened to accumulate to three inches.

Kiki's bulbs have burst forth from the earth.

I planted the appropriately named snow peas, rocket, carrots and beets using the fancy new planting square. This is an amazing time saver. It has color coded holes, a measuring stylus to press into the ground to the exactly correct depth, and when you press the square into the soil, it presents a perfect square foot. This saves the whole spreading string across the garden, measuring, tying, etc. Brilliant thing. It's going to be heavily used.

Some "before" pictures that show where the clover seed was strewn in the slag from the stair construction last fall. 

There's a mulch project going on, which I will picture when it is done.

Too much to do. Too little time.
