Here it is, the third week in March, and I've had our furnace off for 2 weeks if not longer. The lowest day time temperature this month was 36 degrees. Today the temperature is in the low 80s. These are record highs here in the midwest for this time of the year. This is not be complaining, just me in awe of the wonderful weather we've been getting. However, if I know Indiana, we could still be in for some surprises in a few weeks.
With the warm weather, the tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and all those other spring flowers have bloomed. It's been an adventure seeing what kind of flowers we have around our house. Our beautiful big magnolia tree in the backyard is in full bloom. It's a nice shady place for our hammock.
I bet you've been wondering about my garden. Well, we cleared the branches from my garden area, but have no tilled it yet. I started my tomato plants (Beefsteak, roma, and cherry), and a different type of pepper plant as well. ...and about those other pepper plants.... We are down to 5-6 total plants, the cats got sneaky and ate a few of them. However, since the weather had been so nice they are outside.
And with that I will leave you. I promise, I am working on projects, I just haven't finished any yet.
As the weather starts to get a little more mild (and the 65 degree day we had last week), I'm starting to plan out my garden for the summer. Husband and I have started making a list of the things we'd like to grow and how we want the garden to look. I've been pinning lots of ideas from pinterest and reading some books from the library. Ideally I'd like to only use produce from our garden this summer, and I hope that I can make that work
Since we've only been living in our house since August, there was no time for planting a garden. We only had time to trim bushes and trees, and clear out the overgrown flower beds. There is a large pile of branches lying where my garden will be that will have to be cleared before it can be tilled. I'm waiting for warm weather because I dislike wearing coats and being cold.
I can't wait for warmer weather where I can finally work in the yard and tend to my garden. No pictures today, sorry. I didn't think you wanted to see my sad garden patch.
