Getting ready for Spring

Today we finally had warm weather, though winter is still looming. I bought five 10-foot 4X4 timbers and framed up half of the beds. I also bought ten 2 cubic foot bags of StarGreen garden soil from Lowes. It's the lower-cost equivalent of the Miracle Gro soil.

I built the frames and added a little of the soil to the beds, but time was a factor, since we have other obligations today. Hopefully we'll have all the soil improved by the end of the weekend.

No seeds planted yet. I need to get them going soon!

Received 40 artichoke seeds from eBay last week. Hope we can get them to produce in our climate.
