Things got packed pretty hard over the fall and winter. |
And I thought that just turning it over was hard work! |
Nearly half a wheelbarrow of roots, mostly from my neighbor's Elm trees. |
Time then to spread out a couple of bags of processed cow manure and mix it in thoroughly. Makes for great tomatoes and veggies, not to mention a sore back.
With the garden beds all prepared, I then covered them up and repaired the fence to keep yard waste from accumulating and to keep a couple of big dogs out. Especially one Elwood who has a proven bad habit of stealing tomatoes and squash right off of the vine.
It being only the end of February it would be foolish not to expect another round of cold weather. A hard freeze, freezing rain or snow are all possible. |
The right bed is for tomatoes, about four varsities. |
The left bed is for starting peppers, cucumbers, beans, squash and Mellon's. |
Now all that remains is the waiting for the seeds, that have already been ordered to arrive, so the planting can begin! Here's hoping for a long and healthy growing season and a rich and bountiful harvest.
