I usually really enjoy April but this year it was brutal! We had several rounds of strep and infections and more rain than I can remember having in April for a long time. The rain is good but the garden's been muddy and not much has been planted. Between contract knitting and photo sessions (six, at least!) I haven't had much time to edit my own pictures or blog. I do like taking pictures, though, for just about any reason. I am behind on the scavenger hunt but I did see the royal wedding live. And now only four weeks of school left! I see my priorities shifting this week, though, and -hopefully- lots getting done. I'll post my scavenger hunt pictures once I get done sorting through them. Come back soon!
Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening. So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October. As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc. I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March! What are you planting?
It sounds like I could have written that post (well, except for the contract knitting, sickness, and photo sessions LOL.) March was icky, but April has been a complete blur. Where on earth did it go??? I'll be late with the scavenger hunt too -- and now I know I'm in good company LOL!
