A repost from April, 2012:
Karen and I enjoyed gardening from 7 am until 3 pm on Sunday. It was a clear skied day with bright sunshine and temperatures in the mid 70's. It was delightful fun but tiring.
We had not been able to garden much because it had been raining for a long time, our lawn mowers needed repairs, and other duties had kept us working indoors.
We cleared our sunny vegetable garden of all weeds, and will plant next weekend. Our frost date is April 15th in Red Bluff, so we don't plant summer vegetables in the open outdoors until after April 15th.

"If your purse no longer bulges
and you've lost your golden treasure,
If times you think you're lonely
and have hungry grown for pleasure,
Don't sit by your hearth and grumble,
don't let mind and spirit harden.
If it's thrills of joy you wish for
get to work and plant a garden!
If it's drama that you sigh for,
plant a garden and you'll get it
You will know the thrill of battle
fighting foes that will beset it
If you long for entertainment and
for pageantry most glowing,
Plant a garden and this summer spend
your time with green things growing."
