A Time To Sow, etc.
Planting time is once more upon us and I, for one, am quite looking forward to it. I enjoy just about everything to do with putting out and taking care of a garden, even down to weeding and watering.
We’re expanding this year, to two plots — one will be reserved for a large crop of potatoes. There is nothing so good as new potatoes and fresh green beans, except maybe home grown tomatoes with home-made italian dressing.
Mom wants a couple of nicely landscaped flower beds and we’ll probably do an herb garden. Fresh cilantro, dill, rosemary, sage. Garlic. Seems silly to grow delicious produce and not the herbs it will take to spice it.
After harvest comes canning time, which I also enjoy. It’s wonderful to break out preserved spring and summer in the middle of winter.
Anyone else eager to get diggin’ in the dirt?
