In the words of Ice-Cube: Today I didn’t even have to use my A.K., I gotta say, today was a good day. A good day indeed. It was mid 60s and sunny here today and in the sun it felt much warmer.
I hit up the community garden plot with cbro this morning around 11. We got the plot sectioned off into beds and worked in some coffee grounds and organic fertilizer so that it can all start to break down so when we do plant a few weeks from now there will be available nutrients. We did plant a few beds of peas, just to see what will happen. I bet they all do well.
Back home I worked on my garden for a while too. I was surprised that my compost pile did so well over the winter.. I got two full wheelbarrows full of the most beautiful compost that I spread over my new garden beds. I built a sifter a month or so ago when I made my potting soil, so I sifted my compost as well. I also worked in some COF (complete organic fertilizer).
Now I’m sitting on my deck smoking my pipe and writing up this blog post. And I didn’t even have to use my A.K. It was a good day.
Today I did the first thinning harvest of the winter spinach and lettuce in the coldframes. We made a gorgeous salad for lunch with these.
And yes, that is a frisbee.
Looks wonderful! Lots of growing potential in the new garden city plots. How fun it will be to watch the seeds grow! Lots of sunshine too:)You all did a great job getting it ready!!!
The home spinach looks yummy, didn’t know that would come up so soon!Bon appetite!!
Take a pix of the home garden plot for us, would love to see where it is from the deck and how big it is.
Enjoy the cigar farmer Aaron
Well deserved.
P.S. The weeping cheery is so pretty, fun to look at as you drive up the driveway. You will get lots of growth this year on that! Beautiful
