Well folks, planting has officially begun. That must mean spring is on its way, right? As you can see, Holden is very good at helping. Right now, he is our official soil taster. (That is not a typo) We have planted some of our herbs, including basil, oregano, tarragon, thyme, cilantro, parsley, and dill. We hope to have some well established herbs by early spring. We have also planted the seeds for our edible flower garden. We will have pansies, tricolor violas, marigolds, calendula, and three types of nasturtiums. The tarragon and oregano germinated within three days and the sight of those seedlings is almost as good as seeing the sun in the midst of these snowy days.
Early next month, we begin starting our vegetable seeds indoors. Once the soil becomes workable, we will be busy preparing our farm plots and putting up our fence. We are enjoying our days indoors before the long, hard outdoor days begin.
