Gardening anxiety

by Ether

It’s getting closer and closer to spring, and I’m getting anxious. In all honesty- I should start sourcing my new raised-bed materials soon. I know a good source for some free bricks, but I’m uncertain if I want to use brick for the raised beds. Traditionally they’re made with wood, but I’m also cheap as heck.

 The ‘taters haven’t been ordered yet, as I wasn’t sure which shipping date is best for our area yet. I think I’ve figured that out… but I’m still double checking. Everything else should be arriving shorly.

 I’ve been saving egg-cartons for starting, and have some large yoghurt containers to get the larger plants going. I should call the garden centers in the area and see who has the best price for the potting mix materials I need.

 Something I’ve learned- when you move, don’t abandon your gardening raw materials. I left behind a nearly full bale of peat, a bag of vermiculite, some seed-starting trays, etc. I’m really regretting that now. Ahh well- live and learn.
