Hey everybody,
We finalized our layout and are ready to start planting (see the new photos just put up today). We had hoped to start putting plants in the ground this past weekend, but mother nature wasn't cooperating. Not to be deterred, we spent the last few days digging paths around the garden and between the beds. We've been piling the dirt from the paths into the beds themselves, which creates a sort of raised bed which will be great for draining later. The process of digging wet dirt is slow, but our mud-moving skills landed us a minor role in a small independent film, click here to watch. (Just kidding) With the help of more modern tools such as shovels, hoes, and a new rototiller, as well as a number of enthusiastic volunteers, we have been making great progress.
The weather is finally turning for the better, and tomorrow is going to be a big day as we (finally) will be putting plants in the ground. Aside from that, we are having compost delivered to the site tomorrow morning and will be finalizing some of our larger purchases in the coming days (shed, fence).
Be sure to keep posted, many pictures will follow tomorrow.
Rob and Stacey
