Happy daze! 08/10/2010
 
This morning, I have been filling my garden beds with the last of my compost.  It seems The Lad and I are going to get more this weekend.  So...I wanted to prepare for it and use up the compost from before.  If the beds are ready before we go...we can just fill the beds as we unload the truck.  Saves me a bunch of work!  Not that I'm lazy, but that frees me up to work hard at something else.

Some of the beds I was working on, were where I pulled up my squash, lettuce, and carrots.  The dirt in the beds had settled, and I wanted to make sure they were full for the next round, so to speak.

The next thing I need to do, is to decide what to plant where...keeping in mind about rotating crops.  Not rotating crops is what gave me trouble with my squash.

Ever since I pulled up those plants, the bugs have disappeared.  They are not bothering my zucchini plants...at this time.  I am so pleased!

Also, I hate to be too optimistic at this time, but I think my sickly tomatoes may have turned the corner to better health, too!  Blessings all around!  Not to mention that the ants have quit eating my bean plants...and I didn't do anything about that.

It is a good day for my garden!  Good for me, too!  Hope more of the same for all of you too.
