Jeff and I (well, mostly Jeff) have been spending these gloriously mild days working outside whenever we can. Jeff's major project has been to cut down some trees on our property. Aside from clearing out a bit of land deeper in the woods, he's also cutting down a few trees next to our "garden." I say "garden" because it is a very, very sad garden. The previous owners had a small plot set up, and we've barely done anything with it. I did grow a few bean plants, squash, and potatoes there a couple years ago, but it's mostly been neglected. By taking down some trees, we'll get some more sunlight and also a better chance at a good harvest. We'll be building up some beds in the next few weeks as well. Stay tuned for that! I also spent some time in the front yard. We have a bunch of overgrown daffodils and other perennials next to our driveway. The woods have really overtaken them, so I dug a bunch up and put them in the gardens in the front yard. I have no idea if they'll do well, but it didn't cost anything but a bit of time and effort. It's worth a shot, right? It sure felt nice to dig in the dirt a little. What a joy to be doing this in March in New Hampshire!
