What a busy, busy morning. Two trips to the compost yard for garden soil and the new bed is filled and the two long beds are topped off. That was a bit of a workout for an older guy and I’m sure that my back will let me know later on just how upset it is with me. I gotta concede that the garden soil that I got at the compost yard is far, far better (and lots cheaper) than what I’d get at my store of dreams. I’ll get a nice long and hot shower to make my back shut up. If that doesn’t work, there’s always Aleve.
I had to grid off two of the beds but at least that is done and now I can think about planting other crops. I noticed that I had some fingerling potatoes that are starting to go to seed and I planted them in my potato bed to see if they will grow. It will be really cool if they do. If they don’t; I guess nothing ventured is nothing gained. I’m thinking about trying my hand at garlic while I’m at it this year. I not too sure how I would go about growing them much less keeping them but it’s something to do a little research on.
SO I have some pumpkin seeds started indoors and under a grow light. My bed for peppers has this nice, loomy soil that breaks apart so nice in my hands. All I need to plant them is some warmer weather. I have plans to plant some more peas and plant some green beans next weekend. So it looks like my planting season is really kicking off now.
It’s looking really good, Jim!! I’m sorry about your back, a hot water bottle might help too.

Nice … these are looking good!
Gardening is something I still haven’t mastered yet … but trying … and garlic is something I wanted to grow too, after a lot more research of course!
I’ve successfully grown pumpkins from last years seeds too, which I’m stoked with … and potatoes 🙂
