Over the weekend, Matt was able to finish clearing out the vegetable bed area, so I just need to set up the beds. I did have this big elaborate plan with raised beds and everything, but I thought that I had better just take it easy. I am just going to even out the soil and make my little planting areas. Later, if this is successful, I can make my own raised beds.
I have been out of town for the last few days at a library retreat, so I am ready to get back to the garden. I went out at lunch today and picked up several packets of seeds.
I am going to have to find out our last frost date so that I don't kill the seedlings before the rabbits have a chance to eat them. Luckily, I don't have to wait too long since I have lettuce. That can go in the ground today
after I clean up the bed. Of course, I will need to make little protection covers out of whatever I have laying around the garden shed. I have some old wire fencing from when Goliath was little and could get through the wood slats, but I need to find some heavy plastic. That will be my project for the night.
On another note, my nephew Cole came to work with me today for
Bring Your Child to Work Day. I don't know if he has had any fun, but it was nice having him around. He told me his mother asked him if he was going to do any work over the Summer and I let him know about our projects. I told him that I would expect him to put in the work, but I would pay him and feed him for cleaning up flower beds and helping to scrape the deck. I can use all the help that I can get.
