Plans for the spring?

[gumbogumbo]

What are you all planning for this spring? I'm thinking cucumbers, radishes, lettuce, and strawberries for me. Marigolds to fend away a bug or two. I only container garden, so I have to get myself a decent trellis before the season starts. Maybe this year I'll actually use compost. What about you?

So I have a couple of largeish Rubbermaid bins (they're the Roughneck 25 gal) that I compost in. I drilled holes in it following these directions and it works really well! Obviously not quickly as my big bedding pile does since it doesn't get hot the same way a big pile would but it does reduce the suburban trash pests getting in it.

I also seem to end up with soldier flies in it every year which is both a blessing and a curse: Great poultry food and churns through organic waste FAST but also gets anaerobic fast and you have these wasp-looking flies around.
