Gardening

I'm getting excited about the spring arriving and I'm hoping to spend more time outside this year, both relaxing, entertaining and gardening. We have limited areas with full sun so we may try to grow some edibles in the front yard (that space really need some love and some more interesting growth). We're also going to try tomatoes in pots, because I'd love to have more of my own and our shallow herb garden bed isn't deep enough I think to get good growth. We'll still do herbs next to the garage, and I'm hoping to clean up and plant some in our main yard on the side of the house. Our rain barrel came in really handy last year. I may think of setting up some kind of composting process but I'm not quite there yet and need to do a lot more research on it.

A coworker is selling some plants for her daughter's school fundraiser, so I ordered some for borders: blazing stars, bleeding hearts, day lilies and persian buttercups. It going to be a while until I can plant anything outside and I don't have safe space away from cats to start anything inside of the house but in the meantime I can do some planning and once it gets a bit warmer, some clearing.
