I'm planning a trip to Lowe's today to purchase gardening materials. We didn't have a true winter this year, which was disappointing as I love snow, but I'm trying to make the most of it by getting a head start on my planting.
First, I have to tackle the front yard, which is where my herb garden will be. As it stands, there are countless weeds that need to be pulled, the grass needs nutrients and a small fence needs to be erected around the bed where my herbs will grow since Maple likes to trounce that area during her morning constitutional.
I'll need gardening gloves, weed killer that's dog-safe, grass feed, and herb seeds. We're not expecting a frost for the next few weeks, so I should be good to get started. My only concern is that we're expecting consistent rain through March, but hopefully the sun comes out enough to get things going.
After I tackle the front yard, I'll be able to focus on the garden in the backyard, which will have carrots, broccoli, green beans, tomatoes, onions and watermelon (assuming they all grow). That will be quite a labor of love. I'm thinking of documenting all of this in photographs on my blog (which I really want to start writing on more).
