The Garden Fairy

It is very frosty this morning. I have 7 degrees. I am working on getting cold frames built so I can use them in the Fall. My husband is in the process of welding frames to put over the raised beds so I can attach plastic or shade cloth to them when needed. This will be great cause sometimes in the early Summer we get hail. This will help protect the crops too. My first year I grew lettuce, I went out to see if I should pick it yet and decided to wait one more day. That afternoon, a huge hail storm came through and wiped everything out. Fortunatly, it was the best thing for the lettuce, (Leaf type) In two weeks I had the best looking lettuce. It even came back stronger and healthy too.

The Sun is shinning today. Maybe it will be warm up!

I tried to work in my greenhouse yesterday and the ground is still froze. I hung some racks and shelving so, I feel like I did something. I was getting excited from all the neet stuff I got from the friend that is moving. A book that I had been looking to buy for a while, she had! I bought it from her. It is just what I needed to read at this time. It is  called "So You Want to Start a Nursery" by Tony Avent. It has a lot of good info. in it. Today I am going to organize my garden magazines. I am trying to think of inside jobs. I wanted to get in my potting shed and put up a new shelf unit but there is a snow drift in front of the door as hard as a rock. I guess this is my sign to rest up for when hard work starts up. Wishing everyone a great day!

Oops! I entered my entry in the comments instead. I will get the hang of this eventually. I am going to have fun today!! Hope the rest of you do too!

This is my first attempt at blogging so, I guess I will get the hang of it as I go. I am so excited, I have got all my seeds in that I ordered. Now I have to wait till Spring gets here. I will start my seeds the first part of April. Not to far away. In March I am attending the International Master Gardner Conference in Las Vegas. I am going with 5 other gals. We have workshops and tours already booked. We will be there a whole week. It will be a blast!!

If anyone replys don't get discouraged I will check in as often as I remember until I get used to blogging;-)
