I finally got a free day, so my husband and I set to work on the yard! He trimmed and mowed, and dug up two entire beds for me, one for flowers, one for veggies. This is my last vegetable bed. First we dug up all the grass and removed it, then I laid a medium bale of peat moss on it (which is enormous), and next I am going to dig in some manure. Also I am adding two bags of top soil to the lower end of the bed since it was so rocky. I don't know if you can see it, but I closed off the lower end of the bed, because last year I had a problem with water running out. Its so dry here I flood the beds twice a week to deep water the plants. Don't sprinkle the leaves with water, they like their leaves dry and their roots quenched!
