Great burlap coffee bean bags, full of 'fresh' compost...thank you Whole Foods! |
|
50 lb. bags of Whole Foods own compost! |

Raised garden beds, after the long Winter... |
|
Last years garden yielded so much in joy, and herbs, and color and the wonderful hum of bees...looking forward! |
Well, this week was riveting to say the
least. Edward made his way to Boston on Thursday, and much to his
surprise, wound up on lock-down with the rest of the City on Friday. The
stories of healing and heartbreak keep rolling in all in the same
breath. Sweet Caroline. I have stopped watching for now. Edward flies back in tomorrow night.
Last
year, I 'happened upon' a 50 pound bag of compost, a gift from Whole
Foods and my garden was happy happy happy. I was not going to miss that
opportunity again! Following the Colorado Springs Whole Foods on Facebook,
I saw that yesterday was the day! Jimmy high tailed it over there, and
we picked up 3 bags of, might I add, free, compost of their own making.
So, you know what this means, this is a great sign, a hopeful moment,
that re-planting is in the air, that I can start playing in the dirt
once again. Planning a new garden is always exciting and this year is no
different. I am wondering if the earth worms I bought lived through the
winter, do they need to be replaced. Maybe I'll go digging later and
see if I can spot any. Will the Greek Oregano actually come back, will
the Honeysuckle bush start to sprout? They should. The work will be
easier, as we will not be building the raised garden beds, although I
did enjoy the process. I did discover that you can go to Home Depot or
Lowe's and purchase wood pallets for about $15, and they are
multi-purpose, multi-functional, already nailed together pieces of wood.
I might make a potting table with 1 or 2 of them. We'll see. In the
meantime yesterday was a start, a joyful, hopeful moment, exactly as Spring should be!
