The weather is slowly starting to get a little warmer and now is the time to be working up the ground for all those gardens. I see one more cold spell in the forecast for Georgia and that should be our last one for now. I haven’t started plowing or breaking up any ground yet, but I think I will need to do that over the next 7 to 10 days. I think 10 days from now, we will be in the clear of any freezing temperatures. I made the mistake last year of planting too soon and my 90 tomato plants had to endure the freezing temperatures for a couple of nights. So I will be more patient in 2008 with my gardening and make sure old man winter is gone for good.

I don’t plan to have a big garden with all the drought forecasts that are predicted for North Georgia. So I will keep it small in case I have to water it by hand. I might just stick with growing the tomatoes this year and just pick up the other garden fresh vegetables from the produce stand. They aren’t quite as good as the home grown products, but as long as I have my home grown tomatoes I will be alright.
