Has anyone else started gardening yet? I'm itching to get things planted, but it's still too cold. Our forecast is for below freezing at night for another two weeks, so I have to wait a bit longer.
I've started getting things ready though. The deck is cleaned and repainted and all the planters have been emptied out. Yesterday I went to our local stables and got some sacks of horse poop.
They have plenty of it, they keep about 30 horses there. We could only fit 4 sacks in the back of our car, they asked us to take a truck load next time.
I'm thinking of making a compost heap so I have a steady supply of fertilizer. The poop we got yesterday had been sitting there for about 6 months, so it was already composted down and could go straight onto the garden.
