It's technically spring here where I live, but it's not very warm yet. The snow cover finally melted, so I can at least see my garden now. We had a warm spell last week, it got warmer than usual for this time of year, so I took some pictures of the garden. In the past few days, the weather has gone back to about normal for mid April here, and it snowed a bit overnight, pretty typical for here.
Here's a look at the garden from last week, starting with the side garden where I had my tomato plants last year. I cleaned it out and mulched it with shredded maple leaves last fall. There was still a bit of the snow pile left on it when I took the picture.
This is the main garden, looking from the end of the garden. There was still a big snow pile from shoveling the path over the winter.
This is the compost heap. I've been putting the kitchen scraps in it all winter.
My container garden is still a bit of a mess. It's mostly just last year's marigold plants that need to be cleaned up from the raised bed, I cleaned out the big pots last fall.
Here's a look at my raised beds with my railroad tracks next to them. There's some strawberry plants in the end sctrion closest to the camera, they're getting green already.
I also have a couple pictures of my plots at the community garden. The first picture is of the double plot. It's pretty much ready to be planted when the time comes.
The single plot still needs to be cleaned out, I was unable to finish that last fall before the ground froze.
In this area, gardens are normally planted at the end of May, so I still have plenty of time to finish cleaning up the single plot to get it ready for planting. Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit next week so I can get back to the community garden to finish the clean up.
That's all I have for this garden post, I hope you found it interesting!
