Here We Snow Again

My husband, a Newfoundlander says all the time that "snow is poor man's fertilizer." That being said, we should have a great garden this year. I am so ready to get out there and move things around and see how we are going to organize things this year. We had such good luck with bell peppers last year that we still have some left in the freezer. It has been snowing steadily since late last night..We had a lag around noon but it had started in earnest again. Libby has such fun in the yard, and is happier the deeper it gets. So here's to hoping this is the last of the snow.

Here we go again

It has been almost a year..Last summer was awful..So hot.I learned alot.I worked hard on my compost piles and hoped for a new year. I have been following #gardenchat on twitter so I haved learned from experienced gardeners. The snow melted in the back yard enough so that I could put newspapers, cardboard, coffee grounds, crushed eggshells all on my garden beds. Then I covered them with compost. It is supposed to snow the day after tomorrow. I did walk around the yard and many bulbs are coming up! The most important thing that happened to me this past year, I adopted a 3 year old Newfie from rescue. Her name is Libby. She is beautiful and she has made me laugh again.So here is to another spring. I feel optomistic about this one.
