Ready to Plant

Exhaustion and exhilaration.  Yesterday we had delivered about 2500 pounds of gravel, mulch, topsoil and compost to the driveway.  Unfortunately, the garden is in the back of the house.  While I was at work, Jason trucked compost and soil back to the garden all night.  It looks great!  

This is what we got, and most of what he hauled last night :

Today, after a final top-off into the garden, we went to work on our other plant beds around the house, extending some beds, just re-digging/mulching others.  Seven hours, twelve beds and a few blisters later, we are ready to dig in and start planting.

Herb Garden

I will be starting potatoes, peas, onions, broccoli, lettuces, spinach and a few others sometime this week.  Cold frames will be going up, hopefully keeping out the frosts.  I will be updating with a specific list later this week.  Stop back for details.
