The Country Garden Showcase- Week 9

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.
May Sarton

Welcome Friends!

Here's my February Garden Plan and progress so far...





February Garden Plan: 

place and mix compost into raised garden boxes ~ DONE
place and mix compost for in ground garden beds ~ DONE

construct berry fences and raised burms  ~ DONE
plant berries, bulb onions, seed potatoes ~ DONE
plant strawberries in strawberry pots ~ DONE
sow a row per/crop each week- winter veggies ~ DONE
plant bareroot table grapes ~ DONE
add compost, blood meal, & bone meal to fruit trees ~DONE
spray fruit trees with sulphur spray fungicide ~ DONE

start seedlings for some veggies indoors- this project began 2/25

put up hoop house over the winter veggie bed, once seeded- *not until seeding is complete

 Well, that's what I've been up to lately.  


It's time to link up and share what you've been doing in your garden, on your farm, and in your  greenhouse...

  1. You are productive! I cleaned some leaves out of my little pond today, and I'm making a huge batch of oven stew for my mother's freezer, whose 77th birthday was yesterday and she doesn't really cook any more -- and mostly spending way too much time drinking chai and sitting in front of this computer on such a beautiful day (almost 70 degrees here!)

  2. Woo who! You are making wonderful progress Heidi! We've had winter like weather this week so nothing much has actually been done outside. I did purchase some seeds for the cut flower gardens though! I'll be starting them indoors soon!

  3. Hi Diana,
    Happy belated birthday to your Mom.
    My outdoor activity is stalled. It's been snowing all day here... My plants and I are all confused. Enjoy your great weather.

  4. Hello Deborah Jean,
    I love the sound of your name. It's so pretty. It's funny how weather can change. It's snowing here too today. I am really looking forward to your flower garden and your weekly flora chats. Have a great week Deb. I can't wait to read about dahlias. They are the queen of the garden.
