I'm a little late with this post but springtime is finally here! The past month has been alot of big changes for me: a new job, moving into a new apartment, moving my parents out of my childhood home, and catching up with friends I have missed since I left for Arizona two years ago. I'm excited to finally start settling back into life in the midwest and with the start of my favorite season I can't wait for the adventures to start.
Watching the first few daffodils and hyacinths pop up makes me very excited every year because it means that gardening season is right around the corner. This year I have alot to celebrate too because I'm going to be having my biggest garden ever. I was able to secure a plot with the Schaumburg Community Garden, so I will have an 18' x 18' plot walking distance from my apartment. I started the seeds for my tomato, pepper, and squash plants a month ago and am getting set to transplant them into the ground next week at the earliest. El nino is giving us a warm spring so I am thinking it will be ok to plant a bit early.
As for my plot, I spent this past week making rows and putting up a fence to keep the rabbits out. We will see if it works. Tonight I planted lettuce and sunflower seeds and placed an order for a hops rhizome from a local hopyard in Lena, IL.
Tomorrow will be the nicest weekend of the year so we are riding our bikes from Algonquin to Lake Geneva for an overnight camping trip! Spring is here and it feels good!
