Things are getting tight on the table. I've moved half of the spinach outside. Still a lot of flowers to sow...

Wow, Pema.

That is quite the operation you have going there!

I love it.

She plants a lot.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Things have rather expanded on the plant table:

One flat of spinach has already been transplanted into the garden. More flats need to graduate out to the cold frame to free up space for sowing *yet more* seeds this week. This is where it starts to get a bit whelming.

Meanwhile, here's a current view of the south (mostly ornamental) side of the main garden area:

This will all begin to evolve very rapidly and will look like a jungle by July.

That is a beautiful garden, Pema.

Even when it looked like a jungle, last year, it was still beautiful.

Thank you, Lori. Don't get me wrong, I love it when it looks like a jungle, too. It has so many different stages. The full-of-promise spring one is very special.

That's an
amazing garden. I don't have the time or patience.

You know the difference between a plant and weed?
If you put it in soil and it dies. Plant
If you didn't put it in soil and you can't get rid of it. Weed

It's harder to love and create than hate and destroy. Love and creation takes more energy. Where hate and destruction can be done with a single word that can haunt you for a life time.

I think I will try celery this year.

Each year I try a never before planted veggie.
