After months of what seems like constant rain, we’ve had a few days of beautiful weather here in North East Texas. The first day of spring is showing lots of promise, and putting me in the gardening mood. Yesterday while driving, I had a lot of time to think about my upcoming garden plans, and because of the perfect weather and glorious sunshine, I decided that this year I will attempt another large garden. I intend (hope) to grow enough food this year to share with the Tailored Rides family. So I asked Bruce to turn up the old front garden (which hasn’t been in production for several years) and to fence in the area again. It’s a large space, but I’m feeling very optimistic. That’s one of the things I love best about farming – the act of faith, the absolute belief that putting this seed in this ground is going to result in something wonderful in a relatively short time. As they say, Hope springs eternal. Happy first day of spring!
