Spring

I feel more inspired to garden now that winter is almost over.

I took everything out of the garden beds. Except, the mint plant keeps popping up everywhere. That plant is nasty. It grows everywhere and it is hard to get rid of it.

Lesson about mint plants: plant them in a pot away from your garden beds. 

Anyway, I've planted some new things exclusively in pots. They include lots of basil (I love using it for cooking and for making pesto), oregano, rosemary, parsley, and a few pretty flowers. Flowers can make anyone's day brighter. I have moved the flower pots in front of the French doors in my room just for a little cheer.

I'm not going to do anything with the garden beds right now because we are supposed to start construction soon. 

So, that's the status of my urban garden. 

Update

My garden sucks right now.  I removed everything and I was about to start new until we decided to start an addition to the house.  So, I'm thinking the garden needs to wait until they are done.

At any rate, one of my garden beds still has cutworms, the other has earth worms (a good thing).  I need to decide what to do about the cutworms.

BTW, I still hate winter gardens. It was so not fulfilling at all, especially after the cutworm invasion.
