Yes! the days are getting longer, the temperature getting warmer and the sun had been shining upon us for about 9 days straight until the rain finally came today.
I have been to a gardening seminar in February and a garden show in Strathford this month so it wasn't too difficult to think about gardening.
This is the time when the seed catalogues are well scanned & dog-eared for most gardeners. As for me, I have enough seeds collected from last year to keep me busy this Spring. Both my seed germinator hold heritage tomatoes, basil, marigolds and Swiss chard. They have all germinated & so I got busy making newspaper pots today for soon-to-be-transplants.
As one of the "new blood" in my garden club, I am slowly being oriented to the different machinations of the club. Besides being an executive member (board of directors) I am now one of the coordinators for our annual summer flower show in July. This event includes horticulture and floral design competition, plant sale, vendors, raffles and a tea room. This is not really my area of interest but I want to be able to support the club's events and grasp the opportunity to learn new things.
Spring means cycling as well. Bob & I attended a planning meeting with 2 other couples. Monday rides (out of town trips) had been planned by one person and he is retiring from the responsibilities. He was there at the meeting for consultation but the rest of the members are asked to lead a trip or two. With a 4 day trip to Quebec, a possible overnight trip to Pt. Dover and Niagara area, I am more than ready for Spring!
