2008


Gardening in the High Desert
  • Watered weeds, veg beds and garlic
  • Some weeds starting to bloom - a delicate lavender one, and one with white flowers. Also tumbleweed now germ along with a new weed that I haven't seen before.
  • First daffs in garden blooming - pale cream yellow
  • Weeded all beds
  • Irises growing like crazy
  • Large rabbit tracks in the garden
  • Time to feed and water trees - they are starting to break dormancy
  • I am thinking of buying some onions and some garlic at the store to grow - just to see what happens
  • Forgot to water my oregano transplant. Well, I guess we'll see just how bought it really is.
  • Got to sleep good, gt to work early, go home early and then take lots of photos of the garden tomorrow

Gardening in the High Desert
The gale-force wind from yesterday seems to have abated, so maybe today I will go out in my barren garden and see what's alive. Even though there are no veggies to put out yet, the strawberries and irises and daffodils should be making an appearance, along with lemon balm, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
