Weather: 63 and sunny; rain earlier this week, making the soil easy to turn.
Tasks accomplished today:
1. Purchased garden soil, and bamboo trellis, pictured below.
2. Turned vegetable garden with spade; raked even; moved extra dirt to side yard.
3. Placed paving stones for easy-access walkways.
4. Put in short fence half way around garden as a test: will it keep out the canines?
5. Decided not to lay soil until ready to plant.
Plans for this week:
1. Buy more fencing, some plants (probably not all), and flowers for new pots (side project).
2. Lay soil and get some plants in the ground (more reading needed to determine which).
Pick up some Osmocote, it is a nice time release fertilizer that I have been using since my time at Hilltop. They have it at Target.
ReplyDeleteLove the walkways.
ReplyDeleteAdd to shopping list: knee pads (the tough boy ones, not the sissy girl ones).
Embrace seedlings- they are your friends.
Also: careful planting too early- check the frost report every night before sunset and be ready with sheets and blankets to cover anything out of the ground.
