This weekend dh got the intial tilling done in the garden & the expansion area too. All we need to do is get the manure spread in it now & till it all in before we start digging out the trenches & get things planted next month. The weather was so great this weekend that we just had to do it! Only thing is right smack in the middle is my beets still! Looks kind of funny, an island of beets in a sea of freshly tilled soil. We need to strech the fence out too as it is all loose so that will get done after the manure as we have a nice opening right now where we rolled up the fencing to make room for the expansion.
The seedlings are getting a really good start going too. I planted 12 tomatoes & so far 8 have sprouted & all 4 cukes too. Waiting(impatiently I will add) for green bell peppers, zuchinni, yellow squash & the other tomatoes to come up now. I have been sitting my plantings out on my back patio table every day once the sun starts to warm everything up. I am planting some cantaloupe seeds today to get them started too.
