Anyone else getting anxious?

[Bluedaisy]

Maybe it's because I'm from the north but the fact that all the stores start getting gardening stuff in WAY before it's actually time to garden is driving me crazy.  I can't believe it's going to be at least another month before I can work in the yard.  I'm going to go crazy.

Anyone else getting spring fever?

Oh I am definitely ready to start. I am starting to prep the garden though. And I'll be doing seeds pretty soon. I wanted to start already, but doing it too early would be a bad move!

I worked on the back of my garder laying mulch paths and cleaned up the raspberry patch and restrung the dog  barrier.

I absolutely have spring fever! Even though it's too early to plant here, we've been adding compost and ripping up landscape cloth every time it's warm enough to work outside (and when the snow has melted). And soon I'll be starting some seeds indoors. I went through all my seed packets and made a calendar for when each plant gets started, whether it's indoors or outdoors.

YES!

I just dug out all of my old seeds and I'm doing a germination test this week to see which are still viable. And I may have ordered $40 in veggie seeds yesterday.

I cannot wait until it's time to get thing started!

I started half of my seeds yesterday. I'm going to do 3 batches 4 weeks apart and then probably another batch come late June. I'm super excited and can't wait for the snow to melt.

What are you all planting?

Hi! Hope it's okay if I just jump on in. It's supposed to be nice and warm all week and the snow's almost gone already, so I'm starting to get ants in my pants! This is our first summer living somewhere with a yard, and I'm so excited to grow some veggies.

I started peppers from seed two weeks ago, and I'll start tomatoes this weekend or next, I think. I have grand dreams of direct sowing bush peas, beans, carrots, beets, cauliflower, spinach, and herbs, too...in our teeny tiny raised bed that's at MOST 4'x8'. Silly me... We'll see what actually fits!

I'm SOOOOOO excited for spring! We've got a slow melt underway out there, but a long ways to go until we can see the ground again. It does feel like we've finally turned the corner.Six weeks before average last frost means this Friday, but I'm going to wait a bit longer. Partly bc my due date will likely make us slow to plant, but also because last May was too chilly for seedlings to thrive, so a few crops had to be direct sown, and some things got too leggy.

Goodbye cruel winter!!!

I did so much pruning and weeding and general debris clearing in the past few days (it has been freakishly sunny and mild in my corner of the world lately). The front of my yard is at least somewhat presentable, but the back will take some major work. Still I feel better having done a little something. Now to order some fresh dirt and think about what to plant!

I really need our snow to go away soon!
