In the garden - March 2011


This past week we had a "few" sunny breaks in the weather and we got a chance to fix up our garden boxes! I really was itching to fix up the boxes because I wanted to do well with our garden this year. Unlike past years where I hadn't (and didn't know) I was supposed to prep the soil with amendments, this year we added chicken manure and compost to our soil. I was happy to see SO many happy worms in our soil a few days after. Crossing my fingers for a bumper crop!! I tried planting directly some beans and spinach, again hoping for the best.
I also was extremely pleased to see the shoots from the peony my co-worker gave me (which I thought died on me, due to my lack of transferring it on time) coming out!!
While I'm at best a lackluster weekend gardener I would really love to see better results for this years sore shoulders and arms!
