Misty Morning Musings

Misty Morning

This is such an anticipatory time of year for me. Things change so quickly. I'm working on my Vegetable Plant, Transplant, Harvest Calendar right now. I really want to try to do more succession planting and plant more First time I've really tried to figure out exactly when to sow seeds directly and indo, plant starts, and harvest my produce. Next, I'll map out what should go where. The What Goes Where Map.

The Friday before President's Day weekend we had five cubic yards of top soil delivered and then spent the weekend and beyond spreading it over our asparagus bed and three vegetable beds, raising them all about six inches. I also top dressed the flower bed at the front of the garden, where I plant tall things like sunflowers to sort of shield the garden from the street.

Yesterday Mike and I discussed whether to put in a fence or irrigation system and agreed fence first. I initially thought of adding a three-foot-high picket fence, like the six-foot-high fence we have between the back yard and the side lot now. I wondering though if something different is in order for the garden fence. Bamboo? Willow? Something taller than three feet that doesn't block too much light?
