Gettin' down and dirty!

Note the bright sunny day, perfect for spring gardening!

Many thanks to our friend, Lisa, for the loan of the truck.

Today, we filled it with a half ton of compost

and then with a ton of organic topsoil.

Yesterday, we built 14 raised garden beds.

Today, we filled them.

First, we dug down a foot in the existing soil bed.

Then we added 3 inches of ripen compost

and a sprinkling of lime to fix the soil pH.

We mixed that all up.

And topped it off with 6" of organic topsoil.

We have never been so dirty!
(David and I are hoping we can move tomorrow!)
Here are some of the plants sitting on the porch,
just waiting to get planted.
Ah, tomorrow.
(providing we CAN move.)
