Plans for the spring?

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?

I mean, raising 40 ducks and 20 chickens over the course of six months on a townhouse lot is a quick and easy way to get lots! ;)

(they have since moved onto more appropriately sized pasture and I just have two secret ducks shhhhh)

We also do kitchen scraps and the husband is a big coffee drinker which adds a good amount of N too.

That would indeed be an effective way to get lots of poultry manure! I might start by contacting my friend, though. :D

The kitchen scraps go to the worms or the broader compost, but you've just reminded me to contact the local coffee shops and roasters in the area. I just have to get them to fill up some big buckets with the used grounds...
