Staking Out Over Spring Break

"One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides."~W.E. Johns, The Passing Show.

After briefly looking back at gardens past last week, this week's Spring Break served as an excellent time (with unusually cooperative weather!) to begin staking a claim on some turf for this year's edition of our family vegetable (and fruit) garden. As previously mentioned, the big change this year is that we will further be turning over what passes as our lawn to garden space. The hope, of course, is that more spec will equate to a higher yield from our garden.

The small area of our backyard (note: both pictures were taken this past Monday with an inexpensive Kodak disposable camera) as currently configured for growing a variety of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and squash:


The same are, but now staked out to add an adidtional 2' x 5' area to eb used for the inclusion of more vegetables and to allow for more growing space in bewteen rows of plants:


Next up: hopefully this coming weekend we can begin turning over the soil and mixing in some of the compost from our pit with the hopes of planting in mid-May. Stay "tuned" for updates!

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
