OH.MY.GOSH. have I been busy and boy are my muscles (the few I have) SORE. I was so excited to be out in the garden this past weekend. It was truly lovely. But, no time to sit around and enjoy it. This was a working weekend.
First, I finished the edging.
Which meant tearing out the old black plastic edging. When I was pulling it out, the top pulled off from the bottom. Nice.
I even had a supervisor for the project.
Poor thing, she wanted to go outside so badly.
After the edging, came the sacks and sacks of compost/topsoil/bedding material to put in all the beds. I turned it in with a pitchfork and a hoe, then raked it smooth.
I went back to the nursery several times for more compost to mix into the soil. But it was worth it…..
Doesn’t that look much better? I planted pinto beans, haricot vert, and speckled limas here.
In this bed, I planted my purple hull peas. Yum!
I have to say it is beginning to look much, much better. With the island finished and this edging that I have been working on F.O.R.E.V.E.R. I can move on to other projects. Like…
planting flowers and more veggies!
Oh, and by the way, Spring is definitely here. This is how we know in Texas.
Yep, when the bluebonnets are blooming.
