We hit 73F today! Unexpected! So between having the boys home who want favors of me and we are to have 60-65F tomorrow.. I plan to get my garden tilled. Then go fishing with the boys and take Alaisdair out to the lake to let him experience what a true dog is for... Fetching and running and playing in the great outdoors.

I've laid out my garden plan for peas, carrots and beets. Does anyone care to see my layout?

It is supposed to stay above freezing at night and be up to 60-65 for the next 7 days!

Yippee!

Since I wont be able to do any serious work in the garden for about another month.Please do show us (or at least me) your garden layout.About the only thing I can do right now is uncover the graft union on some of my vines and tend to some new starts indoors.Hope you do enjoy the outdoor activities first though.

I second bluestreak on everything except the vines (I an still trying to get the olds grapevines under control here).

rabbit...I am jealous!

But yes, I would LOVE to see your plans, and I hope Alaisdair...how 'bout we just call him Ali, or something easier to spell...has a great time!

And fishing? Geez...I wish I could go! What are ya hoping to catch? Fish, I know ...but what kind, and where ya going?

Maybe your new pup will "retrieve" the fish!

Still 18inches of snow pack with drifts.
But, it hit 44ËšF this afternoon...spring skiing,wahoo.
Only ice fishing in this part of the US...dedicated people,those ice fishermen-right Walleye?

Our snowpack is melting ... melting ... melting ... Yea! But I still can't see the raised beds. Hopefully will be able to get out and do some prep between spring snowstorms (we're bound to have a few) sometime before too long.

Hope you catch the big one, Rabbit!

Rabbit, I'm so happy y'all have finally warmed up a little! Hope you enjoyed your day and boys and new pup (and being 'cast free'!) Woohoo! Today probably was the best medicine you could have ordered

The plans got changed a little, mostly because I was exhausted from all the events yesterday.

So, I didn't go fishing, but DS went to the Lake by himself and went Kayaking.

But I did get out in the garden. Alis...the puppy wanted to go outside, so I took worked in the garden. I will be planting my peas, etc. in the next few days.

I'm going to try to make a map of my garden on my next post. If I can't get it to work like I think I can... I'll tell you so.

Okay... second attempt (1st got lost in cyper space.)
