Groundbreaking

March 4, 2007

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.

  2. Oh what a sweetie…came to see knitting and ended up smiling from ear to ear at the bunnies and your comments!! Also love the garden. My son grows tomatoes-corn-green beans but he is away at college. Think it is my turn now! :)
