Groundbreaking
Time to get diggy.
Documented above is the first turning of the ground for 2007. The soil is a thousand times easier to dig than last year. After a few more years of nurturing I expect it to be spectacularly rich.
Little did I know that as I turned the soil, a gardening muse was behind me.
I wondered last night whether I can use the appearance of pumpkin seedlings in the compost pile as an indicator that its warm enough to plant them. And what did I see today right next to the compost pile?
I can’t believe its warm enough yet. But… it’s so tempting to plant now.
A single cosmos seedling pops its little head out of the ground.
Its only a matter of time until the rabbits discover it and my lovely cosmos vanishes. For now its protected under plastic dome.
