Feb 2012

I got some seed soil mix, replacement seeds are in and we're building the little cold frame on the deck today. I am so excited. I got a 2 up flat seed mat, so I can now start 144 little plants.

I'm going to plant 24 broccoli to start and then when this batch goes into little pots, I'll start the next. We love broccoli and I got a freezer last year, so frozen fresh broccoli is in our future! I'm digging the trench in one of my beds today and will plant potatoes starting this week. I met with a gardening company yesterday and they're going to come and build my last bed and clean the fence line so I can plant vines and bushes on the road to create our privacy fence.

Oh yes, I'm excited.
