Jenny's News Stand

I swear I really do have spring fever. I just want to be outside all the time. I sit on the porch, enjoy yard work, and can't wait to try to grow plants. Jed and I keep wondering what to do about a garden. Our whole yard is grass, which means tearing it up, and then having to replant it. So I found a third solution - join the community garden club! What fun. I get to hang out with other moms and gardeners, none are professional, and help grow food for the local food bank. I still want a big pumpkin patch. So maybe we will do that out in the horse pasture.

And I decided we needed flowers. So I dug up and created a rock-lined flower bed near the tree and planted flowers in the front area. Still need to weed that one though. Can't wait till they grow a bit. Gotta fertilize this week. And I am trying out growing potatoes in pots. I'll have to let you know if it works.
