And so it begins...again

Year two!

The garden has been tilled and things are being planted as I type... at least I think so. Tanis planted the onions, zucchini, cucumbers, radishes for Seed's Farmer's Market booth and some of the peas about a week back. We have two tomato plants, but we're hoping to get a couple more here soon.

Today Beth and Kerri came over and helped finish up the planting. Seems like every year (all two of them) we're planting later than we had liked, but I think we're still ahead of last years planting..*quick check at last years post to see when we planted* good gravy we're only two days ahead of last year!! How do ya like that!? I'm personally a little bummed. I blame the weather! Stupid rain, then more rain, then snow, and then even more rain!

anywhoo... mad props and whatnot to Beth and Kerri!

A word from the Mrs:

This morning Kerri and Beth came over and really got the rest of the garden planted! Together we put in another row of peas, carrots, three rows of corn, a row of zucchinis, and planted the green beans! The garden is really ramping up! The little girls did great playing in the yard and Dylan was happy in the exersaucer most of the time. It's always a little more tricky with kids but today was just perfect!

So...now that the garden is mostly planted the next step is making sure it gets watered and weeded. Kerri and Beth planning to come back next Wednesday at 10am and Kerri is coming back with Deana in the evening. I will be gone Sunday afternoon-Tuesday night, but will be back to help on Wednesday. If you want to come over and do some weeding there is definitely work to be done now. The planted rows will need a little time to get established but the strawberries need weeding and also an area between the strawberries and tree. We can plant there once it's weeded. If you have any extra pots sitting around that you'd like to share, we could use them for herbs. Scott got dill, basil, mint, maybe some others that we can plant. I need to get more potting soil...i should be making a list for myself :o)

back to me:

On a posting note I'll do my best to keep this blog updated with the latest from the garden. If I had a better grasp on technology and mass quantities of time on my hands I'd create a garden cam but...that's not going to happen. Instead please enjoy the time-lapse header...which is grossly out of date...sigh...
