Current Events
My current events are working on an off line document with all the seed, plants and daily things going on in my real garden. The list of seed varieties has become gynormous… I mean really long!! How did it get that way, well let me tell you what. It has taken years and I have been a gardener for decades so it’s been a lot of seed purchases, seed swaps, plant purchases, plant swaps, a lot of photos and a lot of trial and error and every year its a different story! And so it begins, my 2019 saga of the garden.
Location, Location
They say everything focuses on location, location, location. And with gardening it is really not that much different. First location is my zone. I am zone 5 or 6 in the gardening world and in the 4 passed decades it has bounced back and forth to the one or the other. I am in the midwest…in the grand prairie state, Illinois. And when I get down to planting I have plenty of shady spots and sunny spots and spots that are inbetween.
Soil And Conditions
My soil base here is largely sand. It can be any color you like from gold to orange to grey to blue and shades in between. My fertility is with a capital P as in POOR! Although I have some spots that through the years have become ammended. And this fickle ground depending on the year can be dry as dead bones or wet as can be. Most of the time it is wet early on and adventure in swamp gardening which can last the entire season, but not always. Usually and typical, we can dig a post hole and the water table sets high and the hole will draw and this can be anywhere on my piece of paradise. Both in my vegetable garden and in the bog. Only had a couple years in the two decades we are here that it was dry as dead bones.
Like a Bear out of my Den
Like a bear out of my den with a yawn and a stretch I walked out of my door yesterday and yelled it is here! SPRING… Let the garden begin!
