Daytime temps keep inching upwards and the flowers are noticing.
Our catmint, daffodils, and tulips are up and growing, as well as some other plants that are tired of being dormant.
I’ve even seen some bees making the rounds looking for pollen and nectar. They will be able to get some on their next go around. And I’ll have the 3D printed bee hotel hung out again so the bees can rest if they need to.
We also have chives that are making a comeback. To be honest, I wasn’t sure they would over Winter. They were mowed to the ground by grass hoppers last Summer and they were new growth.
I think I’m as ready for Spring time as these plants are. I have around 640 plants to get put into the ground or sold. My greenhouse will finally be put together this weekend, or I’m grounding myself until it is. Stay tuned for pictures.
It likely won’t look like much, I’ll still need to figure out shelving and such.
I’m also seriously considering redoing the compost. I watched a video today where a guy had built a 3 bin system using pallets. It wasn’t real pretty, but it looked like it should get the job done. I don’t have a link to the video, but he goes by sustainable me.
Mine would be along the same line of thought, but I would paint the pallets and then cover with some fine mess to keep the organic materials in the bins.
If anyone has any input or experience to share, please feel free to comment.
May your ventures be met with success!
