Sometimes it takes more than a green thumb to be a Calgary gardener, lately it's all of the time. This past weekend it took a wild imagination. As snow continues to blanket the ground trying to plan your garden is getting to be a little ridiculous. But four gardeners/snowshoers made their way to Harvest Gardens this past weekend to try and finalize the location of a perennial bed, some raspberries and some trees. This was our best guess for a perennial bed, can you picture it? Just follow the orange line, it may get lost in the snow a bit.

| Perennial Bed...Can't you see it? |
Not quite the lush green bed with the infusion of colour we're hoping for, but we'll see in a few months.

| Hmmm...How much compost do we need to top the beds up? |
It also wasn't the easiest task to figure out how much soil we need to top our beds up for this coming year. I'm sure there must be some trusty equation for frozen-snowy-dirt compaction, but I don't know it.I think we did fairly well just find the dirt.
We also started talking about a shed, but the construction combined with the snow was bringing about flashbacks from last years construction day. So after about an hour our imaginations were worn out, or perhaps frozen, as were our toes and fingers and we decided we had finalized enough for a brisk spring day.
