The Garden As of Early April

 

I really didn't think I would post much about the garden. The snow just melted off about a week ago, but the dirt is still frozen. Still, next to the garden, some flowers are coming up to remind me that there really will be a spring. So, here are some pics of the raised beds with nothing in them but last year's dirt, which needs to be refreshed. 

The big bed in the foreground dates back to 2008. The taller ones are newer. I may or may not get rid of that bigger one this year. I have the cedar to make another small boxy raised bed. 

Here are the four newer beds, three big ones and the boxy one. And you can see how there's pretty much no sign of green grass yet. Looks kinda dismal. This is late in the day, so there are some shadows on the garden, but for the most part it gets light 8-10 hours a day.

Another view. This was all under snow cover for months until a week or ten days ago. And it still looks like all of nature is asleep.

 

We have a "wintry mix" coming in tonight, but spring will roar into existence regardless of the rain, sleet and shower-door ice on everything tomorrow.
