A little over a week ago James got me a tiller and a great pair of gardening gloves, I decided it was time that I got to work on our garden. I always have a big idea in mind, but not too much follow through. We set in on tilling a bit here and there, we even tilled two new areas to add to the garden. I think those will become a butterfly garden to bring the good bugs in.
This last weekend we cleaned out leaves, ivy, and the Hosta bed too. I also tilled a bit near the fence, and just maybe I’ll get some little plants to add to the area. Since a lot of the prep work was finished, I thought today would be a great day to get some plants in the ground. I loaded up the little kids and headed out. We stopped at a few local shops and came home with a great start.
We bought Broccoli Plants and Cauliflower, even though Dylan doesn’t like either of them. I also bought two Blueberry bushes, and two Raspberry bushes too. I think they will be great additions to the garden. This year I’m giving Strawberries another try too, so we picked up six plants.
We had enough time this afternoon to get all of the plants in the ground, and also a row of Okra planted too. Dylan’s favorite veggie of all time. I still need to till and weed a bit more, and get the Corn and Green Beans planted too. I think we are off to a great start though.
Sounds like a great start! Can’t wait to see pics!
We are getting are garden together also. Hubby used the big till and turned over the garden twice and today took the smaller teller to refine the dirt finer and the rows are tilled and ready for planting. We will put out 12 red tomatoes plants, 2 yellow tomatoes plants, red, green, yellow and orange peppers, grape tomatoes and then cuccumbers and green beans
