Is it Spring Yet?

If the snow and wind would ever stop, I would be able to go out and get some gardening done. It is not in the cards for this weekend though. We are heading up onto the mountain for the last weekend of the Ski season at Schweitzer. Should be pretty good, we have gotten about 6 inches of snow over the last 3 days, most of it is melting by mid day but that is quite a bit for late March. I have to take my snow tires off tomorrow too.

Spring Planting List

I was all geared up these last two weekends to make some headway in my garden, but no, mother nature rained me out both weekends. It is nice today though. For the spring I have the following I would like to get done before summer.

Setup garden area which includes:
Building Planting Boxes
Setting up Potato Tires
Plant fruit trees and blue berry bushes.
Build potting shed
Plant our deciduous trees that we have had in pots for the last two years.
Build trusses for grapes

We have two apple, two plum and a cherry tree to plant as well as two blue berry bushes. I am thinking I will incorporate them into our wind break, but I am not married to this yet, I may put them nearer to the garden so that the garden beds are a little more protected from the wind.
