Spring preparation

     Happy St Urho's day!  2nd day of the 4th quarter.  Sunny, and the temerature has been in the 60's during the day, and the 30's at night.  The only snow left is on the north side of buildings and trees.  3 eggs from the hens today.  6 total since they strted laying this spring.
     From 6 to 7 pm I cleaned the mulch off the strawberries, carrot seed patch, the perennials, and the garlic I planted last fall.  In the next couple of days I'll clean up more and get prepared for planting lettuce and spinach in the first quarter, peas in the 2nd quarter, and potatoes, onions and carrots in the 3rd quarter.  Gardening by moon phases seems to work for me.  At least it keeps me on schedule.
