This is the perfect weekend to plant my starter seeds and dig up the backyard again. This time I'm going to have a larger veggie bed. I think I might do raised beds this year. I'm definitely going to trellis. So, tomorrow I need to:
Get a hummus and manure mix
Pick up either a few 2 x 4s or some rocks to go around the perimeter (probably not terribly necessary, but I want to clearly mark the beds)
Dig up the beds I want
Turn over the soil and mix the hummus and manure in, along with any extra leaves I want to use (we were lazy this fall, so we have plenty
Plant the starters
Cut down the remaining grasses in the front yard
I can't wait. I'm sure Ragsy will help, too. In the next few weeks, I'm going to have to figure out how I want to set the trellises - do I want to do rounds or straights? I'm thinking rounds. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the unsightly park picnic tables the previous owners installed in the backyard. I want a small wrought iron round table for the patio and a nice, larger family table for the screened-in porch. Yeah, because those will be cheap. Ah, I love spring.
