(Feb-28-2012) This time of year, it’s hard to not get cabin fever. It’s either rainy, cold or foggy, or all three put together. I know, I shouldn’t complain about the rain and I’m really not, anything is better than the lack, or should I say absence of rain we had this past Summer. Anyway, my point is, a day with sunshine is a godsend! So, all day Sunday I spent in the garden: weeding, raking, preparing the ground for some plants I picked up last week on one of my regular trips “to town”. I pulled a couple of cabbage plants out of the garden…I had only left them there because they looked pretty, the actual cabbage had already been chopped off and eaten. Now, all that remains of my Fall garden are some brussel sprout plants and a few tomatoes. This being the first time I ever planted brussel sprouts, and waiting for them to get as big as those I see on the stalk in the grocery store. I’m not too sure if my plants will ever fully mature. But it’s time for the Spring stuff. I hope that if I go ahead and plant them, Spring will hurry up and get here. In go the green, red, yellow and jalepeno peppers, along with some yellow squash, cucumbers, another tomato bush or two. And now I’m thinking of how I want to start my okra seeds, directly in the garden or in separate pots to later be transplanted. We tested a few of the cherry tomatoes (my dog and I), I thought they were fantastic! Well, Ruby wasn’t crazy about them, but my cockatiel was. You may not be aware, and I may have said this a time or two, but you know – everything tastes better at the beach!
