Greens. \u00a0Peppers, especially those sweet hot peppers. \u00a0Leeks. \u00a0Garlic. \u00a0Onions. \u00a0Shallots. \u00a0Beets. \u00a0Collard greens. \u00a0Tomatoes. \u00a0Carrots. \u00a0Herbs. \u00a0Then, we’ll have the apples, plums, cherries, pears, raspberries, strawberries, goose berries, currants, wild grapes. \u00a0And honey. \u00a0That’s our plan for next year. \u00a0Most of it anyhow. \u00a0We’ll probably sneak a few things in just to see what happens.<\/p>\n
Three or four years ago we began a gradual winding down of the flower beds as annual events, turning them gradually toward perennials following one another, growing on their own. \u00a0We have to do some major work this spring along those lines, especially the garden bed on the house side of our front path. \u00a0That one I’ll dig out, amend the soil, and replant altogether. \u00a0Gonna take out the Viburnum. \u00a0It’s never done well.<\/p>\n
We have pruning to do yet this winter. \u00a0And I still have more trees to fell. \u00a0Winter’s a good time for both.<\/p>\n
There is, too, the fire pit and its immediate surround. \u00a0Mark helped us on the fire pit when he was here. \u00a0This year it will become functional.<\/p>\n
Indulging the mid-winter sport of garden planning. \u00a0An indoor prelude to the outdoor music of the growing season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
