We had such grand plans for a garden this year, we were going to build 8 raised beds and fill them with organic mushroom compost, it was all very exciting to dream up and plan.... 2 trips and some out of town guests right in the middle of our "building" time sort of fizzled our plans. Maybe next year? For now we have a little garden plot in the corner of our yard that we thought was perfect for a few tomato, pepper and cucumber plants. We'll see just how green our thumbs really are.
(he's really running this, I swear!)
Ok, so we realized that our soil is nearly 100% CLAY and it's so hard it's a miracle we could get this little tiller to break it up. We mixed 4 giant bags of peat moss in, maybe that will help? I'll keep you posted on our progress. Man do I love fresh produce!

I've got a bag of vermiculite that I put in our garden on the recommendation of my square foot gardening book. It's yours if you want it. It helps make the soil a little more "airy" and hold moisture uniformly. (I think, I just put it in cuz they told me to, blind obedience I guess)
I can't wait to see the harvest!! make sure and post the progress along the way too!
Geez, pretty soon you are going to be able to "rent" Harrison out for manual labor. He has the energy to do the work of a man!
Gardening is just so fun! We just planted today...I only wish we thought it was as much fun from here on out! Now comes the hard part!
