I just finished watering the seed beds in the vegetable gardens. So far only the spring spinach is poking its head up, but the seeds were only planted four days ago.
Thank heavens for our big water containers that collect rainwater off the barn roof. I don't have to lug water nearly as far as previously, and having it near to hand, I do a better and more generous job of watering!
This afternoon I'll be setting a plank between two sawhorses, cutting and sorting seed potatoes, and putting them out to heal over. I'll set the plank and sawhorses under the big hackberry tree so the potatoes will be shaded, but have great air circulation (winds are 10-15 mph today, which for Texas is a gentle breeze).
The hens will keep an eye on me while I'm working. I have six beady-eyed supervisors!

You are already so busy in the garden and we still have snow falling! That gives me lots of time to 'plan' my veggie garden!
