Glorious Spring Weather

We did get our first 70-degree day yesterday. I started in on turning dirt around 8:30 am. I took a break around noon to head out to Portland Nursery for some organic compost and some lime. I then spread out 6 cubic feet of organic compost and a little bit of our homegrown compost. That barely covered the front bed. I was hoping to plant yesterday, but even at 3 pm, the ground was still too sodden. I'm now hoping today's 75+ weather in combination with my turning yesterday will dry it out enough to make it plantable.

April and I celebrated the first 70 degree day with some yummy margaritas and some home marinated chicken fajitas. I biked to work today and will probably overheat on the way home since I am not used to the warmer temperatures yet. We'll see how I feel when I get home as to whether I will do some turning/planting.
