Today I finally had the chance to dig in my garden. This is how it looks after hours of work to break down the raised beds, pull up the landscape fabric, and rototill. We did the two beds of strawberries - there will be ripe berries to pick in a couple of weeks. The blueberry bushes are still up at the top, and there are lots and lots of green blueberries hanging on.
Before I started planting, I shoveled a wheelbarrow full of compost from my compost bins. It was crawling with nice, fat worms.
I put down several boards for walkways, and planted peas, green beans, carrots, radishes, lettuce, spinach and swiss chard. I planted a couple of rows of California Poppies, Zinnias and Cosmos, separated by marigolds. I also replanted some dill, as we had to till up the bed where it came up year after year.
L and I planted 18 tomato plants that we started from seed in the house, filling each hole with some of the worm infused compost. Here's how much I accomplished today.
Are any of you delving into gardening this summer?
