Dirt Dirt Dirt! The key to a great garden is simply dirt. Well maybe not simply... compost takes some work! So last year after I ripped out all the old dead plants, I hand tilled my vegetable beds while adding aged manure and peat moss. I also created another 'square' for next years garden using some old rotting railroad ties that were in my yard. Then its just a waiting game, waiting for the rain and snow of winter to work on the soil...
As a side note, I also planted a bunch of bulbs, iris, daffodils, tulips, allium, laitris, and a few others, so hopefully I will have lots of surprises this spring!
I also divided my daylilies, which I have never done before, so I will let you know how THAT goes!
