A full two weeks ahead of last year, my garden is in!! Much of the day Saturday was spent by hubby spreading manure on the garden spot. Then he plowed it on Sunday. The kids had a great time collecting worms from the freshly turned furrows. Too bad we don't have a fishing spot. They could have put those worms to good use!
Hubby put even more manure on the garden on Monday and put Thomas on the tractor to disc it up and get it ready for planting. Yesterday afternoon, the kids and I went to Gleis and got our plants and the rest of the needed seeds. The weather forecast said there could be frost, so we didn't put anything in last night.
This morning, the kids would have been out there at 8am, but it was still 40 degrees out. I thought it better to wait for the afternoon. So after lunch, off we went, and in a matter of a couple hours, everything was planted. Considering how big the spot ended up this year, I filled it up better than I expected. With the late start a year ago, I skipped putting in some things that we made sure we got in this year.
It is dry enough this spring that I went ahead and started the sprinkler on the tomato plants. Now we keep up with the weeds and look forward to great things from the garden in a couple months.
