2919 Spring Garden on the deck

To my surprize my Red Russian garlic has sprouted as well as the chives and Strawberries. I'm going to try and keep the deck garden smaller this year as I am away lots, or at least Il try. Hopefully Il be spending alot of time on the trails and in the forest. My goal right now is to seek some part time employment that will allow me to travel back and forth to Alberta. I may consider full time if it's the right job. I'm struggling with this a bit praying for direction.
