Spring Break

It's springtime and that means it's time to start planting. Don and the children are out of school for a 2 week spring break (Yeah!) and our focus is to get the garden ready and planted. We planted tomatoes, tomatillos, jalepenos, and squash. We'll be adding green beans and maybe some watermelon. We've spent the last 2 days cleaning up the blackberry and boysenberry plants. We were a bit neglectful last year and the weeds were horrible. We weeded and pruned all the dead branches off and wove them around the fence. It looks really good and hopefully we will have a good crop of berries this year. The strawberry plants are doing really well and already have flowers on them. We will also be cleaning up the asparagus bed (we are already getting asparagus-YUM!) and the rose bed this week. Our hope is to get most of the work done this first week so that we can play next week. We are very excited about the garden this year and we are having fun doing it together.
