Tilling Complete!

Finally! It stopped raining long enough this week for my husband to finish the tilling in the garden plot so we can get the rest of the plants in. He worked super hard, and it looks great. This weekend we should be able to finally finish all the planting.

Below is a pic showing the section where he tilled, and he also put down some planks for walking, and put down mulch. On Monday of this week, everything between the last weedblock and the gate was covered in grass / weeds about 3 feet high. Now, to the top left of the pic, you can see an 8′x10′ nicely tilled area, and a nice PERIMETER (for those of you paying attention, in my graph paper drawing a few weeks ago, I wrote ‘parameter’. I’m SMRT.)В of mulch against the fence, which we found is a decent control for weeds from outside our plot.

As you can also see in the pic, he put in the tomato cages, too, since the tomatoes already need a bit of extra support. Most of what is going in this weekend is beans (which usually grow super fast, I hope this year is no different) and lettuce mixes. I’ll do a full review of all the plants in the garden at some point, and I’m sure I’ll do some features as things start to mature and/or it’s time for harvest.
