Whoa…snow!
March 14, 2006
Well, the crocuses came up earlier last week during the SNOW STORM. Luckily, I had already put some plastic over the front of my garden to dry out and warm up the soil. I planted some Beans, and chard last week, but that was it. It was a good thing too, since the weather turned south.
I found that the slugs come out after dark! I figure the best way to control the slug population is to go out and patrol the garden area each evening. The sluggo worked ok, but was pricey. Hopefully this method will provide a little better protection. I’d like to set out some beer traps, but I just can’t bring myself to see any beer go to waste.
Scopin’ the garden

The flower ring out front. As you can see, the snowdrop flowers are actually in bloom, and the rest of whatever the heck is in there is coming up.
This was last week, BEFORE the arctic front came in!

Found some crocuses coming up, and one even starting to bloom
Chives are about 1-2″ high now.
Cleared the leaves from the crocus bed, and cleaned up the herb garden.
Planted some Garlic over in the ditch-bed. This should have been done last October, but what the hey.
