Spring is springing which has been pulling me outside.
The red winged blackbirds are in intense flaring of the red patches on their wings while whistling those lyric tunes. They sit on branches just out of my camera reach but fully in my sight. The artichokes and onions we moved to the hothouse and they like the cooler air. We started various brassica plants, more tomatoes, peppers, flowers, celery, leeks. Had hopes of getting the shallots in last weekend but just had too many other things to do and the wind blew until Sunday afternoon.
Could it be that interesting? Observations of our backyard and garden experiences?
Our food is a reward for experimenting with this or that variety. The great results from simply drilling the hole out of a 5 ounce plastic cup, fill with good planting soil with fertilizer in it and plant your seed. Give light, sunlight, moisture and care for it. Plant out when the plant is ready. We harden off in the plastic house. It will give you bounty for a few cents, your time and some maintenance.
Take advantage of the spring sun to grow your food for next winter.
Enjoy spring's marvelous fresh days.
I'll be outside...
