Getting the Garden Ready! – June 4th 2011

Here’s s sketch Mindy did today from memory, I liked it and here’s the scene she probably had in mind.

  

After a record wet May, We finally were able to get the garden tilled.

Let it dry out for a couple days.

   

and we were ready to get some plants in the ground! I was able to get a couple rows of peppers (Green, Red, Thai hot, Jalapeno and Lilac) I also got about a dozen Pickling Cucumbers in mounds to the right. We’ll make fresh Dill and Bread & Butter pickles when they come in. I then cover up the plants with straw to lock in moisture and keep weeds away.
