Happy Ostara to you, too !
Mar. 22nd, 2009 10:53 pmHow did I manage to forget over the week-end that is was spring, I don't know. That part's still unclear to me. And yet... today we spent most of our time in the garden, planning our small (we're starting small, the Home Geek is an apartment plant...) vegetable garden, seeing to where we'll plant the plants that have survived the winter in the pots - surprisingly, most of them have. The pelargoniums are the only ones who seem dead as a dodo.
We had a salad from dandelion and cilantro we gathered in the garden, ate in the sun, then the HG transplanted a few of the survivors while I cleaned the patio. We made the rounds to see what was till alive from what we planted last summer - and yet again, it seems nothing died ! How cool is that ? The cilantro was seriously the best surprise we had, there are almost ten plants in various parts of the garden, most of them at the foot of the conker tree. Did I mention I love our garden ? And wasn't that a brilliant way to celebrate Ostara ? Sitting in the grass, with the sun in our back, talking about which seeds to order...
Now I can't wait for the seeds to come in so that I can start with the spinach !
