Happy first day of spring! I've finished preparing one of my five veggie beds and I'm so excited! My mom-in-law Joan gave me an awesome book for my birthday back in November and I've just been eating it up over the winter, filling the cold months with dreams of spring planting. Average last frost in Boise is May8, safe date May 27 so I've still got to wait a good while to get nice and into the planting, but my veggie beds are charted out on graph paper, the catalog's marked up with desired plants and I've been double digging out in the back yard. Oh, Joan, you'll be happy do know we've run into tons of worms this go around! Maybe some pictures later. Our dear old rechargeable batteries for the camera are giving up the ghost so we only have a short time before they die each time. Dream spring dreams of garden tomatoes, cukes fresh from the vine and dark purple eggplant!
