I watch out the window and still am amazed on the unpredictability of this Spring's weather. It's 38 degrees and the mountain ranges around are covered in snow....This year proves that planting your warm weather crop earlier than Memorial Day weekend is at best chancy or best be done IF you are ready to protect it.
Those that know me - have already learned that I'm making a move back to California. The vegetable boxes and paraphernalia attached to them have been broken down and moved to other gardens. I even managed to move and re-attach the tomato support system without too much trouble. All this just proved that container gardening - small or large- is movable and the effort placed in making/acquiring good soil is not wasted.
The soil in the boxes was dark black and very rich looking....and full of nice fat earthworms. Nice proof that one does not need to spend enormous energy or funds to start a garden of any type.
I thank all the friends I made while gardening and all the 'goodies' that were passed to me. I have in turn passed those on when feasible and am taking a few "Utah" transplants as well with me....the rarest to me being some 100 yr old rhubarb root stock.
