'Tis Spring! 'Tis Spring!
Stopped at Home Depot yesterday and picked up 3 bags of "raised bed soil". Applied one of them, and a bunch of microclover seed, to the little patch of torn-up ground between our new driveway and the next door neighbors' new driveway. Applied some microclover seed, but no commercial soil, to the larger patch of less-torn-up ground between our new driveway and the other next-door neighbors' old driveway. At Home Depot, also picked up two Thai-chili-pepper plants, four potted hyacinths, and three pots of miscellaneous Violaceae. Planted the pepper plants and the hyacinths before it started to rain.
Raining again today. I started three kinds of basil seeds (lemon, lime, Thai) in wet soil in a plastic egg carton, to be transplanted to the front yard once they're big enough. Mail-ordered some holy-basil seeds, which we appear to be out of. Meanwhile,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shalmestere started some morning-glory seeds and some cypress-vine seeds in between wet paper towels. Mail-ordered two other kinds of basil seeds and some cilantro seeds.
When it stopped raining, I put some bagged soil into the window-boxes in the back yard, and beat back or trimmed a bunch of raspberry canes, then planted about a dozen sugar-snap-pea seeds in the window-boxes. I want to put in mini-watermelons, interspersed with sugar-snap-peas in the window-boxes, and bush beans in the front yard, but there's a chance of freezing this Wednesday so I want to wait until after that.

Go you!
Today I've sown some grass seed, and I have 2 tree seedlings to plant.
