It's springtime in the rockies, which means snowstorms can continue well into June. They're more random after Mother's Day, so most everyone who lives at our elevation waits until after June 1 to plant their vegetable gardens.
Yesterday, we planted. We've been planting all along, just not the vegetables or the outside pots. But since we hit the June 1 mark, we decided it was time to finish up and let stuff grow. I posted "before" photos a few minutes ago on Facebook, and can't wait to see how it looks a couple months into the season.
As I watered our tender plants earlier this morning, I thought about how my vegetable garden is like my book garden. I planted their seeds, fed and watered them, and now it's time for them to grow, flourish, and produce. I talked to the experts about why they weren't growing and producing the way they should, and with sound advice in my pocket, switched up their care to help them along. I guess this post serves as my written "before." I can't wait to see how it all looks a few months into the season.
