I'm so ready for spring; gardening, warmer weather, shorts, and seeing everything "wake up" from the winter. I can't wait to start building my raised beds and getting my garden started this year. I'm in a new house so, this is my first year to really experiment and give this whole homesteading thing a shot and figure out what works for me and my family. I do have my raised beds drawn up and the lumber priced and I have a general idea on the layout of my garden; nothing set in stone yet since my want lis keeps getting longer and my ideas change. I was fortunate enough to have the day off yesterday so my family and I worked on clearing some of the back yard up and I did start planting some of my herbs.
I'm giving seeds a try this year. So far I have thyme, oregano, parsley, and some bell pepper seeds starting. I did go to Tractor Supply and get more seeds and will hopefully get to planting them tomorow or Tuesday.
Also when I don't work nights I make dinner. But last night my boyfriend surprised me and he offered to make dinner; great northern beans with onion and sausage, rice, and cornbread. Boy was it delicious and I was thankful for a night off of cooking. He put my new cast iron dutch oven to work and it did an amazing job with the beans.
All in all we had a productive day yesterday and hopefully my next two days off will be even more productive. I can't wait to see what all we can do on our little homestead!
Hope y'all have a blessed day and Happy Trails!
