Carla you are correct in many ways, but for me it happens in my off hours pretty much each day.  My husband, who is retired, is out in the gardens a good share of his time if he is not on a new adventure of his own.  He takes care of a lot of it, and fortunately for me does most of the weeding which I am not too fond of.  So you are correct that it will add to my being productive and busy (although I am not fond of the word "busy" either).  Thanks for reading and commenting.  Hope you are well.

Myrl, First of all, a Big Thank You for the feature.  I am honored.  I will be blogging about what and how I am doing in our garden soon.  Right now it seems it is the whole back yard, which is not large, but we are excited to have it in the growing stages.  We are going to a Home and Garden Show today to get more ideas on walkways and such.  Also, I will be getting the red potato starts and plant them within the week.  The soil is warm enough and it is time.  The planting season seems to come on so quickly so I have a calendar of the "to-do's" so I do not miss anything.

Again, Thank You and good luck with your garden I am sure it will be splendid with lots of fresh vegetables and fruits.   So fun and rewarding.

Ron it is very cold here at night and early mornings, lots of frost.  I am not able to set my vegetables out yet as the ground is not warm enough and who wants to do it twice.  We are however, planting bareroot roses and Boxwoods, shrubs are fine in this region to plant.  We have lots of bulbs peeking through but again it is too cold for them to shoot up too fast.  However, pansies and primroses are doing great, lots of color and bloom.  I get anxious and excited at the smell, blue skies and sun shining, like everyone else and have to slow myself down.  Thank you for commenting I hope your winter storms subside soon, but again it is only the first part of March.   sigh.......
