Probably next weekend for me.

1. Not yet, but

I'm making all the plans....how big, how many rows, etc. etc. It's still a little cold here for working outside. For me, anyway.

3. Did you have some nice weather?

It's cold and dreary out here today. I have some sweetpeas and alyssum I should get planted, too. I love primrose. Your garden is going to look great.

4. yes the weather has been nice and sunny -

it has been grey, cool and rainy for several weeks and the ground too muddy to work..

just getting a taste of warm weather sends me to the dirt.... I am a compulsive
gardener.........:crazy:

I got the primrose at Lowes markdown table (perfect condition) for $1 each 4" round pots.... got several.... they won't last in the heat when summer arrives.... but I will have
moved on.... also got 1 dozen cyclamen.... pinks,purple,rose and whites

keep thinking I won't be seduced by new plants, but the markdown table is my favorite.

get to try things out for cheap.....

5. You Texans have my envy.

The las few days have been in the 70's but tomorrow the high is 38!. I did some much needed cleanup as the winds have blown a lot of leaves and debris around.

I do raised bed vegetable gardening because the clay in my area would need years of amendment to be useful garden soil. So no need to lug the 10 ton tiller I've had since the 70's unless I need a new flower bed, garden path, etc.

6. Not "tilling" per se.

We have raised boxes, and have been sifting the soil through a hardware screen to get rid of rocks.

We planted brocolli yesterday, and will be planting some peas and onions this week.

The garlic did well over winter, and some cilantro is volunteer sprouting in the winter bed.
