Making small headway












The weather has been gorgeous the past three days. Sunny, slight breeze and highs in the low to mid 70's. Mike was able to get to home depot to buy the wood and supplies needed to build the beds. We also found what we hope is the perfect spot in the yard. Sunny for most of the day with just slight shade from the canopy of trees overhead in spots. Instead of having 3 raised beds we decided to scale back and have 2 10 foot by 4 foot beds. This will allow us to have a great small workable garden for this first year and then we can add beds as we continue to experiment next year. The third bed will be turned into a sandbox for Orion and Maeve. This week we have other projects around the house such as painting and cleaning but I hope to get the seeds and seedlings this week and we are ordering mushroom soil. We also are looking into ideas for our compost pile this week.
