     yesterday sunny and windy, but warm enough to   
   get out and get some gardening done.   
      
     today snowing.   
      
     several years ago (maybe 5 years even) i had this   
   area that was getting full of grasses growing along   
   the edge of the green manure patch.  so i dug out   
   what i could and piled it up thinking i would be able   
   to go through the pile and remove the grass roots   
   and then level it all back out.   
      
     then life happened and that pile remained until i   
   could get back to it and of course it became a pile   
   of grassy dirt instead.   
      
     yesterday i finally got it at least flattened and   
   put back to where it was removed from and also filled   
   in some other holes that were around there that should   
   not have been there (we don't need any more hazards   
   around here than we already have).   
      
     while i was back there i also cleaned up a few other   
   things, but the whole garden could use being turned and   
   replanted.  i kinda doubt i'll have that much time this   
   season either.  there's still clumps of garlic growing   
   through that space i'd like to remove - i try to get   
   rid of a few feet each year so i can eventually have it   
   gone.   
      
     then there are three projects sitting there waiting   
   for me to get back to them (from last fall) and of   
   course getting gardens ready for planting for this spring   
   and such.  if i'm lucky i get enough breaks in the   
   weather to get a lot done in the spring or fall, but it   
   isn't looking like that will happen this year.  the next   
   week is forecast for rain/snow/both pretty much every   
   day.   
      
     i was going to get peas planted but i think with the   
   weather forecast being cool and too wet i'll wait a   
   week longer.   
      
     it was nice enough last week where i could finish up   
   a patch inside the fence that was left last fall.  that   
   puts all of the fenced area back there in good shape   
   for light weeding/planting.
