It's garden moving day ..... Round 2

He has the ties lasted out. It Will be 24 x 24 when done. We decided to but the strawberry bed up against the garden. We will cut 1 tie in half for the top and bottom. It won't be at hip level, but the berries will survive the winter this way. We still have to let this settle, add more compost from the house pen and then we can plant. We have a dozen or do bales of basically grass that we are gonna burn and sprinkle the pot ash on with the compost. Hopefully we will be able to plant in 2 weeks.

I am so glad you have a tractor! I thought you were moving all that dirt by hand. It pretty exciting to see it all come together.

Oh heavens no! The tractor is our friend.

Ta da! It's pretty much done. It will rain tomorrow afternoon and pack it down a bit. He will run the tiller over it to stir in the compost and then we can plant.

Nice looking beds and dirt! Aren't those ties nice to have?

He spoils me. Now. LOL I spent my 15th anniversary shoveling a load of compost onto the other garden by hand. That was pre-tractor. I told him that was NOT my idea of spending the whole day together.

This day, my job was to tell him where the high spots were. I like that lots better.

Your beds look wonderful! I hope you post pics more pics when they're all planted. I love to see gardens growing!

Thank you! He planted 52 garlic starts and 36 potatoes yesterday. He has the rest of the garden all mapped out. I am most excited about how easy it will be to harvest!

[Callie]

Even I'm excited to see you get to start planting. Have fun!
