MY NEW BEDS! 07/23/2010
 Up against the wood fence, I started a new bed. I would say this new bed is 4ft by 40ft. Inside this bed I planted red and black beans. Plus cucumbers. This used to be my flower bed, but it died out when I was in Il. last year.  This morning, I laid out this bed, checked for level, layered card board on the bottom, then branch chips, and then my compost. In my opinion, it is ready to plant.  I started to level and layer...then it got too hot. Yesterday was the first day in a week we stayed under 100 degrees. Not so today. Way too hot for me to work out there past 11 or 12. I do have to say that I am thrilled to get this much done. I still have to get it fenced in from the rabbits. The dogs are another story. They can jump a 3 foot fence like nothing. Seriously. I also want to make sure I can drive around back here without too much trouble turning around and getting to where I need to unload stuff. Another concern is to make sure I can get a hose around to all the beds so I can water...easily. So...I have to work this all out in my head, and then I can put my plans into action. It is just how I roll. ****************************** | ArchivesAugust 2010 CategoriesAll |
