not exactly the garden, I was picking through the yard looking for 4 leaf clovers, my wife presses them than puts them into pinback buttons, well i found my first 2 fur leaf clovers of the year and found my first 7 leaf clover and it was tiny enough to make a 7/8'' button . this is the best pic I could get, its being pressed now
Mind if I join in? I'm gardening this year in a new climate and really feel like I don't know what I'm doing - so this will be a huge test year for me!
My whole life I lived in Southern California, and our last home had 7 kinds of citrus trees and I grew lettuce in the winter and tomatoes and peppers in the spring. Now I'm in New Mexico, where there actually is a thing called "winter" where we even get some snow. I went to Lowes a while back and thought they were closing the store since the garden shop was empty. (Finally realized that you don't plant here in the winter so they don't sell plants in the winter - duh.) (LOL)
So this week we tilled up the garden area, incorporated a few yards of compost, put in the paths, had gravel delivered and shoveled into the paths. Didn't get the rows & hills done though. Last night we got a light rain so tomorrow we'll lay things out. DH picked up 8' tree stakes so I can make bean/pea tepees across the back.
Oh and I got my incubator set up
I have collected my own pile of seed packets, which was quite fun. Now to figure out how to proceed...
