Last weekend it was warm, so we planted our garden.
Well, in Colorado, it can snow *anytime*! And, it *will* snow when one is least prepared or suspecting.
Thus, on Wednesday night, I came home and Dennis was in the garage with pvc pipe & heat lamps. A Man After My Own Heart…My Hero!!! (more…)
With the start of May and presumably warmer weather, Dennis & I built a new raised bed for our garden. A 3 foot by 12 foot addition would more than double the square footage of our space. I was psyched to get ‘er done.

Raised beds, with veggies:
On Friday, May 8th, I went to the Nursery to pick up veggies for my newly constructed raised bed. I got there fairly early in the morning, but it was already getting busy.
I picked out a variety of veggies. Later in the afternoon, Dennis helped me to plant the following: onions, garlic, chives, asparagus, broccolli, cauliflower, carrots (two varieties), bok choy, peppers (2 varieties), loose leaf green lettuce, and spicy spring mix. We also planted snow peas, green & orange bell peppers, thai chile, thai basil, parsley, and tomato, outside the raised bed…
In return for his several hours of planting help, I let him take me out to see the new Star Trek movie. I rather enjoyed the movie, probably more than he enjoyed the gardening 8^) He will no doubt be happier when the crop gets harvested!
