I too have so many varieties of veggies to plant that my Hubby is threatening to cut me off from my seed catalogs. Can't wait till we finally move there and get settled in so I can get out the hammer, nails and wood to start making the frames for my raised beds.

Luckily, my soil is very well drained, which goes some way toward making up for no raised beds in full sun. I just hope the snow all melts by St. Patrick's Day. Your veggie garden looks so empty now, but it won't be long before it's brimming with growing things.

Yes, I think we're growing Flashy Troutback lettuce together. Can't wait to see what happens next in your garden. Moon phases huh? I've always wondered about doing that except that we have such a short period to get everything in the ground.~~DeeDee/reddirtramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-9311946531553567482010-03-01T09:15:03.281-05:002010-03-01T09:15:03.281-05:00I spotted my crocuses coming up!

What fun you must have had in the last year, and what continued joy I am sure you will have with this throughout 2010.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
