Oh! There's the raspberries. I couldn't take my eyes off the melons.
I'm not sure the cedar chips are a good idea as cedar trees are somewhat toxic to other plants growing around them.At least, I think that's the way it works.
I'm getting my small garden area ready also. We can usually plant a few things in February but the way the weather's been this year, I may wait until March when the frost is no longer an issue. It was cold enough this morning to hurt some plants.
