January Jump-Start (Garden Dream and Plan Thread)

Up jumped spring :) I actually felt a little sweat bead roll down my forehead while tilling the garden. Sounds odd and all...
but I really enjoyed that little sweat bead.

Soil is cold and wet but I gave her a tilling anyways. Tilling should help it warm up and dry out some. My little 25'x50' spring / fall garden.

I'll try and till it again tomorrow (weather.permitting)
 
Oh no… The weather is not really on us gardeners' side this April is it?

Nope... Not this year. Last year I had the whole entire spring/fall garden planted the middle of February though and was eating spinach and lettuce by this time. This year can't catch a break and nothing is planted at all :(
 
It's frustrating, isn't it? I wanted for nearly 3 years to have space for a garden, but the crazy weather and snow we had slowed things right down here. I haven't planted a single seed yet.

I do have some poultry netting that I am planning to use to section off the area around the shed for the hens, once I have it ready for them. I'm thinking of direct sowing my seeds and putting that netting over it, to keep them off it for now.
 
It's so wonderful that a storm spans the entire width of the central United States just in time for the weekend. But on the bright side... hey it's not ice/snow this time :)
