This morning, I did a ton of work on the side garden. The daffodils have already gone by (courtesy of one day in the 80s last week), so I trimmed those back, along with some other detritus from the Fall.
I also took out most of the large containers and topped them off with compost, so I could get them out, and starting to soak up rain water. I did plant collard seeds in one of them, but the rest are just waiting. I also have the herb pots in one small corner, waiting until the daffodil foliage dies back a little more. There’s one big pot left in the garage that will eventually end up there.
I also figured out what was going on with my community garden bed today – we had our opening work party. Due to a series of misunderstandings, my neighbor thought that she was being given my plot as her second plot. After looking at all the options, I decided to let her have it, and take one of the two plots she was supposed to be moving to. It’s just on the other side of my other neighbor’s plot, right next to one of the water spigots. The woman who had it last year sadly was very ill, so I actually helped clean it out last year, so I know exactly what I’m getting into. So I’ll have to replant my peas and turnips, but it’s still early, so I’m not too worried about it.
