The theme for April at nablopomo is Growing Up. I don’t know that I’ll actually sign up for the challenge, but April is a good month to talk about that particular subject.
I have basil seeds not yet sprouted on the kitchen windowsill, a birthday gift of two green bean plants sprouted beside them, and several packets of seeds that need to get in the ground quickly. The plan is for three Square Foot Garden boxes- two in the proper 4×4 set up and one longer 8×2 box. That makes 48 squares altogether. With 9 spinach plants in a box, 16 carrots per box, 4 strawberry plants, etc. we’re in for a lot of food this summer if we (or the wildlife) don’t fuck it up.
Right now in the backyard or the garage (I have no idea because I haven’t left the house in 36 hours) is a package of 25 strawberry plants and a blackberry bush that I hope haven’t died yet. We haven’t yet gotten the garden boxes together, and by we I mean Boyfiend because I am not the one physically sawing and hammering, but we do have the ingredients for our Mel’s Mix and by this time next week we’ll hopefully be on our way to a proper vegetable garden for the summer.
