It’s been a busy week!
Lots of garden work and preparing for spring seed planting which I’ll do either tomorrow or Monday; the weather has been so cooperative it’s been wonderful! It really feels like spring now, and it’s around this time that my eyes start craving greenery — though that won’t happen for a little while yet.
Here are pictures of just a few of the many things happening around the garden:

We’re adding more raised beds to my parents’ backyard so we can grow even more vegetables!! Here’s one of the spots ‘before’:
And ‘after.’ My mom and I had fun doing this raised bed project together!
And tomorrow I’ll fill them up; I’ll be making lasagna beds which, in my experience, is a fantastic way to make some really awesome soil for your raised beds. I’ll have to do a post about that!
At the helm of her ship.
Building a raised bed for the other site...
That one lives here now.
Raiding neighbors' recycle bins at twilight for cardboard and newspaper for the lasagna beds.
Oh, and this is cool — our local health food store will save their produce scraps for your compost heap if you ask them. So Mom and I picked up a nice bag of them yesterday in preparation for use in the lasagna beds. Yay!
They look pretty good for so-called scraps!

Bed time now… tomorrow’s a big garden day! I hope you have a wonderful weekend~

Lindsey, how wonderful. I am so glad you are feeling well and can enjoy doing these things that you love…..It is 10.40am here, last night I dreamt that I was building a veg patch in someone else’s garden as I hadn’t room to grow what I wanted!
I have soup on the stove, am now going into my garden to sweep up and enjoy some sunshine, much love to you.
Wonderful to hear from you Trish, what a nice day it sounds like you’re having! Enjoy it.
Much love to you,
Lindsey
