I am not so good at blogging....I think about it sometimes, but mostly don't do anything about it.

This past weekend, John started replacing my old cedar garden boxes with larger cinderblock boxes. I had mapped out where I wanted them to go, and even started one wall, but it took me hours! When John started leveling the same two walls I had trenched out, it took him two hours to finish them....sometimes I think it's not fair that he has the brawn... But I feel the love!

I now have two new boxes and an extra 20sf to garden in!

My original intent was to do some square foot gardening, but I just came to the realization that my beds are way too deep and filled with normal soil.

I was so excited to have them finished, I started planting before they were completely full. ( I need more peat moss, vermiculite and compost to get the soil mix correct. It can be done, but it sets me back a few days...) Two nights ago I found myself in the garden at 5:30 planting strawberries. Thankfully, it was a full moon cause it got dark fast!
