Ahhh, finally--I have a chance to get outside to the garden and begin my schedule of cleaning and getting the different garden beds ready.

The weather broke just the last two days or so...no more howling winds...no more icy rains.....it was a very balmy 62 degrees today..and I was able to work in just a T-Shirt. ( YEA !!! )

I've decided to do away with my raspberry beds. Its a hard decision.....but they are located against a privacy  stockade fence--thats was blown down about two weeks ago. the whole line of fencing now will have to be repaired or replaced...and that will be at least eight sections. I will then need to have a load of soil dropped...and by the time those many feet have finished working ----the raspberrys will of been trampled ...so I have decided to pull them up.

It was a rather small--but very productive patch..and I enjoyed them greatly over the last five years or so..........I could just walk outside and pluck a few for my breakfast ---and I made many a pastry turnover...........

For now ---I see no other way--as the workman will have to come thru the patch to repair the fence....and of course they cannot be dragging thru the bushes to do so.

I also threw a few onions in today. I don't know if they will make it or not. I wanted to get them in much earlyer than now..but the weather was not co-operating. More information on those in the future.

I ordered a few other plants--but will be checking out the garden centers and maybe a few more magazines for more .......

Until  then.........................
