We're almost there; I can feel the energy pulling us into the next step of the year. We sit at the cusp of spring when all the bets are off. Of course, this year Sacramento is not done with us weather-wise. But sometime in the next couple weeks there will come a day when we can feel a warmth in the air; we will be able to feel all the internal hope of new birth, new growth, and new planting. It is that time of year when we want to birth our next steps - when it ranges from new plants to new babies to new romancess.
I truly look forward more so this year. I have been going through a long,, long dreary winter. The work is done and it is now Mother Nature who is going to kick in. I am so ready! I was on the web page for our local nursery so I can order my plants on-line. I will be ordering new plants sometime in the next ten days.
This year we will be using three raised planters which are all located near the back patio. We have two raised planters right at the patio and these will be where the bulk of our planting will occur. We continue to be on track for tomatoes, Italian sweet pepper, and mild jalapeno peppers. this should keep us buy with lots of harvest down the road..
Our other larger planter is where our strawberries started and again we will be using this planer for strawberriess. I haven't determine the type of strawberries to grow yet but it's coming. We still have to throw in some soil adjustments to add to the growing capability of the dirt. We will keep you posted as we grow this coming season. At this point, I am still adding strength to my physical therapy and as I do it will continue to give me a better ability to be more mobile. We will do what we can do and bloom where we are planted.
By the way, this brings up something I continually run into as I go through my days. It's that point in time when I have everything just as I want it (blankets and chair tilt). In that very moment, a nurse walks up and starts to 'fix' everything (even though I did not ask?). I find much of the time we already have all the old adjustments done and we are perfect. But for some reason there are those who will change everything and I wownder if they do it because they can? So sometimes remember one of the choices is to 'leave me alone.'
Happy springtime! May your heart swell with the smell of the fresh air activating that internal eighteen-year old heart. I think I will go flirt with my wife........
