I've been coasting. That is to say, this winter has been one long void of real activity. Sure, I've spent a lot of time filling the wood racks and feeding the woodstove, but doing projects? Nope. It's too cold.
This has been the coldest winter I remember since 1994, when we had temperatures -22F. That's not a typo. Twenty-two below zero Fahrenheit.
Anyway...I've survived the winter. It's March, and my thoughts have moved on from what I've not been doing to what I'm going to do. It's time to take advantage of every warm day to ready the garden space and start seeds and cuttings.
I started wax plant cuttings yesterday. Eighteen red and eighteen white cuttings are in the tray. I want to plant the Greenstalk beside the walk in rings of red and white - three white and two red.
This is the year I want to work on installing a better fence around the garden area, and I've ordered what is basically a starter kit to see how I like it. It will go around the corner where I keep a small table and chair. This is also the year I want to grow more herbs. We'll see how that goes since I'm adjusting to solo country living. I don't have the same needs since my husband passed.
I've been making videos and posting them on YouTube. I invite you to view them and to subscribe to the Holly Tree Manor channel. I don't get any money for the vids. They're simply a way for me to keep track of what happened when. Maybe, one day, they'll be the only proof I existed. Who knows?
You can find my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@KCKendricks or type in Holly Tree Manor. Maybe I'll figure out a way to make that easier. Hmmm.
