i had to reread that a couple of times - i thought you said you were planting your garden on the 1st day of spring
2022 gardens
Well, it's almost the first day of spring and we are planning our 2022 gardens.
This year, as well as my in ground plot, I have built a few planters and going to build a few raised beds also. This will help my old back some I hope. The inground garden will have potatoes, zucchini, melons, that sort of thing. The planters/raised beds will have the smaller stuff that needs more care.
What are your plans for 2022?

Did some weeding and cutting the edge of the lawn to tidy it up and take off a bit more while hubby wasn't looking.
This is my first spring/summer here for veggie growing so it looks a bit rough!
I’ve picked out a flat area that I’ll eventually have covered in weed block and gravel but for now I’m just trying to dig some beds that can be bordered with wooden planks.
I’ve got some redundant water troughs that I think I can use as small raised beds and some round metal fire pits that I’m putting tomatoes and maybe peppers in.
The soil (lol) here is mostly like Blackpool beach (Brits will know what that looks like)

Today, I put a couple of raised bads in place and filled most of it. My dirt pile was still frozen in the middle, so will have to wait until it melts before I can finish up.

I also put a cold frame on one of the planters. After a few hours in the sun it really warms the soil.

I also dumped my compost pile onto the garden and started a new one....no pics.
