Gardening update

Son and I spent a lot of time outside today, since it was so beautiful. I only just a few minutes ago turned my computer on!

We raked and trimmed and planted. We filled containers with the topsoil and potting soil that I had left, amending it all with compost and manure. There are still containers to fill and an area out front where I want to start a "lasagna garden", so I'll need to get more topsoil and potting soil. I have enough manure and compost already.

Today, I planted:

• cabbage
• broccoli
• garlic
• onions
• radishes
• beets
• carrots

In the coming weeks I'll plant:

• cucumbers
• all kinds of tomatoes
• all kinds of peppers
• squash
• corn
• several kinds of beans
• cantaloupe
• watermelon

It's all going to be intensive gardening methods so I can get the most out of the space I have. I'll do some companion planting, which I started on today with a few items. I still need to get herbs and plant them to add dimension to all these organically grown veggies.
