Plans, plans, plans...

Welcome! It's February in the Pacific Northwest and on our little plot of land in the middle of the urban jungle spring is already starting to emerge. The witch hazel is blooming and the currant we planted last fall has huge green buds! Although I love this sign of hope it leaves me with a little anxiety, we are already starting to run out of time!
 So now it's time to finalize those plans we have been dreaming of since last spring and start making them come true. First up and the most important is our veggie raised beds. Our neighborhood of Georgetown in Seattle Washington is a hotbed of lingering industrial waste and thus I am nervous about planting directly into our soil. Neighbors have addressed this situation by planting veggies in raised beds. So deep raised beds it is!
