Winter Chores

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity.  Visiting with friends and family, enjoying a much needed break, and keeping up with winter chores has kept me busy and smiling. In between all of the festivities, I've managed to get a few things done around this place..

I've been working on the addition of permanent raised beds in the garden.  The rain and soggy ground have made it difficult at times but most of the timbers are in place.  My next task is to start bringing in compost to fill the beds.  It will take a while before these beds are ready to plant but with time, they'll be home to more asparagus, ginger, and horseradish.    The other beds are still green in a sea of brown Winter.  Dinners can still include lettuce, radishes, bok choy, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, chard, and arugula. 

I'll spend the next few weeks lounging around and browsing through the new seed catalogs with dreams of Spring!
