Productive Weekend in the Garden

Last weekend we made this garden bed for our backyard,

cardboard is down as the first layer to smother the grass

It was then filled with dead branches, dried grass clippings 

and random buckets of dirt from last years flower containers

This weekend the boys went and picked up a yard of compost

which we filled up the bed with. We got in beets,

carrots, tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, lettuce and a row

of beans so far. I'm hoping to finish planting it out tomorrow

The remainder of the compost was then brought out our

community plot and I did a bit of planting as well

Eight circles of Strawberry popping corn, each circle has

about a dozen seed which I will then plant beans or peas

beside the corn stalks and then pumpkins/squash

amongst the open spaces

Our garlic looking happy

I transplanted 17 tomato plants as well as a small

square of cosmos. We have 400 sq ft so I figured some

flowers this year were in order
