chopping up the wild grapevines so i can spread them
on the surface of a garden (don't want to bury them
until they've dried out for another year or two). will
take me a few more days to get all of those done. not
sure the weather is going to cooperate much more for me
to be outside this week. we'll see.

plugging up groundhog den.

From the weather reports, it looks like last night was our last below-freezing night. My wife pulled up the garden cloth that covers the paths between the rows in the back quarter of the garden this morning and I tilled it up for her.

Lots of seeding trays in the greenhouse and cold frames, plus lots of healthy vegetables in her auxiliary greenhouses, the clear boxes I built to extend the growing season in the garden.

I'll be planting the wild rice seed later this week, carefully following the directions that came with the seed packets. I've tried growing them several times before without success.
