More work in the garden today –

Worked on the strawberry bed and expanded it, moving some plants around – hope I didn’t kill them!

Moved over the compost pile so that a new bed was created that I will plant peas and lettuce in. Put up the lattice for the peas.

I left a pile of compost-in-the-works for permanent for this summer.

Raked leaves out from under the shrubs and added to compost pile.

I now have 2 beds ready for planting, and the strawberry bed.

Still have to work on the large bed in the back part of the yard.

Jack wants to go out

Today was sunny and warm (55 degrees high).  Jack kept wanting to spend time outside.  I went out for a little bit with him a couple times this morning, but I told him “I have work to do” and made us come back inside.  He doesn’t do “alone”, he has to have someone with him at all times.

Then I did a little bit of work.

Then I noticed the weather report and that it would be raining the next couple of days, so…I gave in.  We went back outside and I worked on one area of the garden.  We now have one small bed ready for planting.  And one walkway area mulched.

I think this bed will be for lettuce and peas.  Let me check my garden plan I made last month – I am close, I have this bed marked for lettuce, carrots, beets, radishes, onions.  I think the idea was to pick a few, not plant all of those.  I think just lettuce and peas will do, the lettuce kind of takes over and I actually made the bed smaller than I had planned in order to make the walkway which is an addition to the driveway because if we have a vehicle parked there, there is nowhere to walk.

The strawberry bed still has some snow and is quite wet, so I didn’t work on that area, though I would have liked to.  Its going to be even wetter if we get rain for 2 days!
