Well, dh finally got the rototiller to run (we picked up a new spark plug for it and that did the trick) so he did the garden and made it twice as big as last year. I need to measure it today so I can figure out how I want to lay it out. Then start planting cold weather crops (lettuces, radishes, broccoli, peas, etc). The kids want to start today, OK the kids really want to avoid cleaning their rooms!
We have lots to do inside the house for dd's party on Sunday so that will take precedence over outside right now. I still need to make my list of seeds and plants to purchase and find a source for bulk mulch for out front buying it in bags is not cost effective. Ok off to get lessons ready for today and get dressed!
I just measured the garden and it is now 14 ft wide by 57 feet long! I should be able to grow LOTS of yummy veggies and fruits in that amount of space. So far the list includes: raspberries, strawberries, wild grapes (these are on the fences not in the garden proper), radishes, carrots, dill, cukes (both eating and pickling),beets, brocolli, tomatoes (LOTS of them), peas (lots of those too), lettuces (lots of different kinds), maybe parsnips(I am the only one htat realy likes them), green beans, some other herbs that I am forgetting and whatever else catches my or dh's eyes at the nursery (I would like to start all my plants at home but we just do not have room or the right kind of lighting for them indoors). Ok now I am off to do school and MAJOR bedroom cleaning in the kids rooms!
