Garden is set and ready. Weeded and turned over (22' X 13') and Josie's 5'X4' garden is ready.
2 hours...and that is with a shovel :expands chest in a manly way:
Some of the dirt was like coffee in consistency. Looks like a banner year.
Tomorrow we fertilize-organically of course.

Last year we probably saved $500 on cherry tomatoes. We got 20-30 a day out of Josie's little garden. She LOVES some cherry tomatoes.

1. Our first garden is in progress.
Soil samples go out for testing on Monday, one area is ready dirt-wise but it needs a fieldstone border and lots of organic material added, a second area has had the little shrublings the grew there chopped down, and the 3rd area is still a patch of lawn. However I've got plans for building some compost bins next weekend so we'll be off and running with that. 1st house, it needs a lot of work to get going! Our heirloom tomato seedlings arrive in May too.
