Thursday

Snow is still here and it is very cold out today.  This morning the temperature was 0.0 with a wind chill of -8. brr. But the sun is shining now and it is a 'warm' 26 degrees F outside.

Last night I started planning my gardens. Yes I said GARDENS! I am going to have at least 2 vegetable gardens - Our old garden on the south side of the house will be the fall harvest garden consisting of pumpkins, ornamental corn, pop corn, and possibly watermelons.  The strawberries and the raspberries are already planted over there.  My new garden will be where the old hay barn used to reside. Here:

Which after the tornado in May of 2009 it became this:

and now we finally have it cleaned up.  The soil should be very good for a garden since it has had hay and straw on it for 100 years!

I also want to try and grow flowers (from seeds) and make hanging baskets and sell them.  My only problem is I would like to buy like 20 hanging pots wholesale but the smallest amount wholesale I can find is 50-for $41.  I don't need 50 pots. At least not now I don't. 

Hopefully my hens will be laying lots of eggs and my customers come back.  I hope to sell some veggies along with eggs.  I have so many plans for this summer I just hope I can get them all done in time!  I am going to start seeds for my garden in about 3-4 weeks and I just absolutely cannot wait!
