It's almost the end of April, and we've been very busy in the garden. We Expanded the fenced-in area by 60%, built 6 raised beds, and had a soil test and amelioration of the soil (more sulfur, boron, and notrogen). In the expanded area we planted raspberries, strawberries, and potatoes. We also added snap peas this year. Tow new beds are experimental - lasagna beds (esentially a pile of compost covered with some dirt, and hopefully, veggie heaven).
Aaron moved away and will be missed, but Ashley has stepped in with advice and plants and hopefully, the soil test will yield results. The "hooped" area is broccoli, which we had trouble with last year, and Ashley has advised the hooping to protect against a nasty caterpillar.
Next week, a second planting of lettuce and spinach, then wait for plants to grow!
More to come in late May.
