Today was sunny for the first time in a while. I gathered up every trash can and bucket I own and drove to the park to pick up free wood chips to put between my garden boxes. After shoveling chips and using the wheelbarrow to unload them, my back told me I was done for the day! But I got about half of the garden done so tomorrow I'll get up early and finish and post a photo. It looks nice and will hopefully make it nicer to work out there without the muddy walkways. I'm also hoping it will keep the weeds down.
I bought some worm castings and other things to add to my garden box soil. I have a pile of compost on a tarp that I'll mix all of it into tomorrow and level up the boxes for planting. I'm sorry I gave away my worm farm - and I'm thinking about investing in another one. But when I was pulling weeds out there, I found LOTS of worms, so maybe I don't need it. We'll see.
Last autumn, I bought "cover crop" seed and planted it. What a waste. Probably got maybe 6 plants in each box instead of a cover crop. I won't make that mistake again!
Once I get the bark dust in and the boxes topped off, I'll transplant the rest of my romaine lettuce and my broccoli! I'm getting so excited for Spring! YAY!
I'm working on a special order I got in my Etsy shop. It's a cremation urn box for a lady who describes herself as a Dead Head and it's pretty cool! Here is a photo of the top:
I guess that's all the news for this week.
As always, Life is GOOD and I'm grateful for every day!
Love,
Annie
