Oh Joy! The spring season is finally opening! Did you hear that April 2018 may go down as the coldest April in the USA . . .ever? Amazingly, vast portions of the Northeast and northern plains saw colder conditions during the first two weeks of April than those way up in Anchorage Alaska.

The BIG project this week involved building a raised bed from old pallets. Two pallets were trimmed to fit over an existing bed. More garden soil/compost mix was required than anticipated and more time taken to set the pallets level over a slightly narrower existing bed. 

These were seeded with bush beans, lettuce, and some store-boughts (as illustration). The area is slightly shaded at times and should be well suited for the lettuces.

And... As always, we so enjoy hearing from you and sharing the wealth of wisdom with our fellow garden enthusiasts! How are you all faring? Have your spring garden options also opened up? Are you experimenting with any new varieties or methods this year?

May your gardens flourish, and your harvest be bountiful!
