Now today - the first really lovely day of spring that we've had - I could barely walk to the garden let alone work in it. I pulled some old stalks but gave up when I got light-headed. Creeping Charlie has taken over our beds, and it's going to take some work to get it out. The link mentions a method of applying borax, but it can't be used in vegetable gardens.
I have some absolutely lovely red and white onion sets, and garlic that need to go in right now. Also lettuce, herbs, spinach, carrots. In June I'm trying the "3 Sisters" - planting corn, squash, and pole beans together. The beans climb the corn, and the squash provides the "mulch". I'm also growing red beans along the fence.
Think I will add some hay bales - just to stretch my growing area. Can't wait to OWN my own yard again so I can plant the whole darned thing in edibles. I'd add raspberries, a plum tree, and maybe even blueberries.
And don't forget the chicken coop!

Get well soon.
There's definitely a very tough strain of something going around, folks I know have been sick for going on two or three weeks now. Hope you feel better soon.
Girl you and the damned computer did not get a virus at the same time! Did you infect the computer or did the computer sneeze on you? Who is to blame for all of this?
