01/17/2006: "gardening"

Spent what time off I had this weekend getting the starting bench ready for planting. It's 2' deep by 8' wide with 2 4' grow lights over it.
It has shelves underneath to hold some bulbs we bought this fall that wanted to sprout out in the bright light on the porch.
I also spent some time comparing prices in the seed catalogs.
I can't wait for spring.

We are planning on putting in a couple of cherry trees, some different apples, and maybe a plum or two.
Tammy is also looking really hard at a hardy peach tree. It's borderline zone4/5 and we're pretty much 4 but who knows.
