Heart Rooted In Spring

[sakon76]

Though it is winter, my heart and head are in spring. I grant you that, living in SoCal, what we call winter is what many parts of the world would call spring. But still. It's cool enough (in the 60s) that seeds are taking weeks and weeks to sprout.

I've been going through the kitchen garden beds one by one, digging in fertilizer, compost, and amendments, as well as fixing/adjusting/replacing the soaker hoses as needed. Two more beds to go. I also, the other week, finally found a spiral plant stand at an estate sale! Rusty and dusty, but I took it and a vintage hanging plant stand to the powder coating place, and though not cheap, will have them back shiny and pretty and weatherproof sometime next week. At the same sale, I also bought a strawberry pot, so spent a bit of today pulling dead plants (ie, most of them) out of the bed in front of the house and putting successfully rooted strawberry runners in the pot.
