It's been a month since my last post.
Gardening 2015: Take One
Although there's really nothing we've been consuming from said garden, a great deal of our time has been in this space.
It started when the snow was just about melted. Four truckloads of brush I cut to burn. Thankful my husband helped me with this. I tell you, this evening was magical. Beautiful weather, sun setting, all of us together with a fire...
What a frazzled mess...but just to prove I was there...
And seedlings...oh those seedlings. My old tomato seeds certainly came. I transplanted them and now have 22 6-packs or 132 seedlings of just tomatoes. Hoping for a bumper crop!
I also have peppers, basil, parsley, eggplant, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, onions and greens up thus far. I have more cells filled with soil and plan to start a few more things.
And soil! We've been improving it. Only my kids organize that which we add to the garden. Rabbit droppings, ashes, horse manure, chicken manure. We're getting there!
I don't remember how many truckloads of manure we added, but it's a start.
And that compost is all turned and ready to go for next year. I also cleared out a path to the back tree in this picture. It's sort of like the Hundred Acrewood, which is a perfect place for pretending.
Progress, that's where we are at! This day will be coming oh so soon, and I cannot wait!
Love that last pic. Hard working farm kids. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lot of hard work but it's going to be amazingly worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteRegarding my other tool challenges, one of the best gardening tips comes from my husband who bought me a garden tool tote for the smaller tools. It manages my hand spade and fork, some seeds and a water bottle for me. The tote doubles as a storage unit, and protects the tools from any harm., see this site
