Garden Supplies


Not a whole lot to report on the garden front for the weekend. I was a little under the weather and it was freezing outside, so not much got done other than some requisite watering.

I have, however, been planning my spring garden for some time now and I have a pretty good idea of what it's going to look like. I'm no landscape architect, but here goes nothing...

There will be four main beds (maybe a fifth if I get really ambitous!) this year. I like fresh tomatoes a lot and am looking to get extras to can this year. I will plant two full beds of tomatoes and maybe a third. However you want to do your garden, be sure to take some time to envision how it all will look.

There is a ton of work to do before things start warming up. This week will be dedicated to gathering all the supplies I need to make this year's garden a success. Timbers or old railroad ties, extra compost, new shovel, wheelbarrow, elbow grease (I can't find anyone that stocks this), more pine straw, chicken wire, cardboard...

Looks like I'm going to be busy!
