Udate on Garden

It was a very busy weekend for us. We (Paul really) spent a good chunk of Friday rototilling 3 garden plots. He used a Mantis to break the grass and dirt up. We then went shopping for seeds. We ended up with a lot of seeds! Including a red sweet corn, red carrots, red sunflowers and Easter egg radish's. We also got romaine lettuce seedlings. Then on Saturday the work started on getting the plots ready to plant. This involved 2 trailer loads of really really nice soil. It has compost, potting soil and other goodies that plants like. Paul unloaded it and I spread it out in the plots. Then came the dog proofing. We put up a small garden fence around each of the 3 plots. The grass was mowed, grass was planted to fill in the bald spots, really interesting flowers were planted in one of the plots, and sunflowers were planted. Most of Saturday's work was done in rain. I have not been that wet, cold and dirty in a very long time and I loved it! So that brings us to Sunday. Thankfully the rain stayed away. That allowed me to get out there and plant some garden! I planted all of the romaine plants, French Marigolds (the petals are edible!), Nasturtium's (again the petals are edible), Anaheim pepper, spicy mescalin mix, Grand Rapids leave lettuce, Peas, some red corn, pickling cucumbers, dill, chamomile, carrots, walla walla onions, red carrots, Easter egg radish's, more cilantro, sweet basil. There is still come planting to do, bell peppers, chard, spinach, oregano, mint, garlic chives are all on the list. I also left enough space that once this crop pops up we can plant more to ensure a crop summer and fall. I will post some pics soon.
