Garden

Todd moved our garden yesterday. We found out why it didn't flourish last year. We had a black walnut tree over one end of it. Nothing grows in the soil that the nuts drop in very well. Too much acid.

Now it is on top of the hill where I can get to it easy. Todd cut down 5 really big trees so that the sun will shine nicely. He even put up the electric fence to keep out deer. Terry and Lois brought us compost to help our soil out. We seem to have clay and not much topsoil where the sun shines. There is plenty of topsoil in the hard to reach areas in the shade.

I am planting ( I hope it isn't too late because it was supposed to be planted in April) lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, red onions, carrots, snap peas, bush beans, cucumbers, yellow and green squash, lots of tomatoes, maybe corn..

We also planted some large shrubs that a sister got for us from a remodel. They are 6 yr old ones. NICE!!

We are starting to look like a home and not a construction site.
