There are about a hundred potted perennials out on my front lawn right now as the latest wintry mix hits our area, and someone dropped off a huge box of cell trays and small pots to us yesterday. Some of them will go to our local library for their gardeners workshops and to prep for their annual plant sale fundraiser, some will go to the Master Gardeners program for their spring fundraiser, and I will attempt to find space for what we end up keeping.

What’s growing on with you all?

    Finished one 8x4 raised bed with my salvaged lumber, and the second should go much faster now that I have a powered saw. I’ll be getting 2.5 yd³ of topsoil/compost blend from a local municipal composting company next week.

    It’s windy and snowy even here in more southern New England, so I’m glad that the spinach, lettuce, and arugula I sowed last weekend in some railing planters hasn’t germinated yet. My grow light shelves are almost completely full trays of seeds I planted a couple days ago, all the tomatos, cucumbers, and squash. Despite the weather today it’s an exciting beginning!
