BUT I did notice that my herb box wintered over pretty well. I still have chamomile, parsley, angelica, lavender and feverfew growing. I am not sure if the ginger will come back or not. But... I think it is a bulb so it should.
Last fall I had transplanted my rhubarb to a tire. It is already covered in many little leaves and about ready to take off. Mints are growing well. And my wildflower tire planters are also already growing back in.
I planted my grapes this weekend, three table grapes, Venus, and three wine grapes, Canadice. I still have to replant my raspberry canes (which I had to move), blueberry bush (which I need to get another for pollination) and several walnut trees that I got from a fellow freecycler. And this week some pussy willow starts should arrive which I will need to get rooted and plant along the northern edge of my property.
I also just placed my order for the last of my seed needs for this year (and then some ;) lol ) I had no corn or peas. I ordered from http://www.mainstreetseedandsupply.com/. They have excellent prices, good sized seed packages and free shipping for orders over $50. I have always been very happy with my orders through their company.
I have walked the gardens and my efforts to build the soil are making a noticeable impact. I think this year we might actually have something worth smiling about.
NOW I have the joy of planning my garden planting!!!
Oh yeah.... I will also begin nagging my husband endlessly about getting my greenhouse up...... Husband, consider yourself warned. <3
