It is winter in my corner of the universe. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I aren’t tending to any plants outside. That’s for certain. (grins)
But we ARE preparing for the Spring.
Some of the little things we’re doing are
- We’re collecting empty toilet paper rolls to serve as pea growing containers. They are tall enough not to inhibit the roots. And they break down easily once they’re placed in the ground.
- We’re collecting eggshells, washing and crushing them. We put a handful of crushed eggshells in every hole before we transplant tomatoes and eggplants.
- We’re also collecting banana peels, chopping and freezing them. These are put in the holes also.
- We continue to put food scraps in the compost bin. Not much breaking down will happen when everything is frozen. But once the melt starts, we’ll be a great place.
- We’re getting ready to start plants likely in March. The seed start containers are laid out and we have figured out the order of sowing.
We’re doing a few other things (like cleaning and repairing tools, etc).
Gardeners always have things to do.
