Oh My Word!!!

Can you believe I completely forgot that I had started this blog? Yikes!!! What does that say about my mental health? Scary, I know. Since last September, I've changed jobs, changed towns, and haven't had a chance to put in a garden this spring.

We've just moved to St. Cloud, MN but still haven't found a house. So, no garden this year. I did have Phil VERY CAREFULLY move my Jude the Obscure to an enormous pot so I could bring it with me, but we left everything else behind. Of course, one of the big factors in looking for a place is the yard. We need some sunshine. A fence would be nice. Maybe even an already-dug garden spot.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying gardening vicariously. Yesterday I visited with a little old lady who was out hoeing her garden. Her tomatoes were 2 feet tall. Her potatoes were almost ready to bloom. And she was looking forward to having beets for the first time in a long time since she had a nearby teenager put a little fence around the garden.

I guess, if I have time, I'll visit the farmer's market and some neighbors gardens. Sigh.
