I did manage to get all but one of the garden boxes weeded, fertilized and I added perilite to my clay soil. I've now planted almost all of my seeds, I just need to build another trellis for more peas (you can never have enough peas!) We're going to build another garden box for corn too, I've never planted corn so I'm excited to see how it turns out. The last garden box to be weeded will have my pumpkins and squash in it. It's been pretty rainy and cold here so I don't feel as behind in my planting as I thought. My tomatoes and hot peppers are all planted in the greenhouse and I'm thinking about planting a peach tree in the greenhouse too.
This weekend we took a day to go on the garden tour around town. So worth the $10 ticket to see other gardens and get some great ideas!
I now want all my garden boxes to be like this...
Can you imagine how much easier it would be to weed and plant in these boxes?! No more aching back. I also found out my Mountain Ash tree I was given for free last year is in fact a Laburnum tree. We have now moved it out of the veggie garden and into the yard as I was told the pods will drop and I'll have little volunteer trees starting in the veggies :o Certainly glad I was told that before it got too big to move. I did question why my Mountain Ash was getting little yellow flowers on it!
Oh, and just because she is so damn cute, here's a picture of my neice who was in town for the long weekend...
