May 15th is knocking on my door, and I haven't so much as ventured out into the garden since last Fall. We had a really mild Winter - hardly any snow, courtesy of El Nino - and a busy non-gardening life. With Clark finishing high school, and Emma taking on a ton of extracurricular activities in her junior year, mixed in with the younger boys' projects and activities, life has been a blur since November!
Despite all of this, all it takes is one dedicated weekend and voila!, the garden is resurrected. That's the beauty of raised bed gardening! Right now is tomato planting season, so we are not really behind the 8-ball - going back in time a mere 10 days, we had sub-freezing temps. And fortunately, this is not looking at all like the Spring of 2008, which didn't arrive until mid-June. I still remember those sickly, purple-leaved tomato plants that didn't green up until July!
So sit tight, fear not, and join me for our new season of,
" The 4 x 8 Farmer"
