Doing something is good. Your posts remind me so much of when I was in
the city. I'm happy here, but those were good times. I got a lot more
acknowledgment from people in the city when I grew a garden than I do
here. Luckily, I get that from inside, also.

I plowed up my garden yesterday, I can plant some English Peas in a
week or so and have asparagus crowns coming. I've got onion seeds up
and broccoli, cauliflower and  cabbage coming up for transplant at the
end of March.

I went to my manure lady yesterday and she's got truckloads, also
found some new people that say they have a few truckloads, I'm going
to visit them on Thursday.  Good times! Horsey people are so useful!
