Today started gray and chilly, but as soon after the sun came out this afternoon, so did everyone in Minnesota I think! Above is Rose and her friend in the tree "house".
I got the garden staked out into 4 foot wide planting beds with 18 inch wide paths in between. Then I planted about 24 potatoes, just under the hay and on top of the newspapers. If this "Lasagna Gardening" planting method works out, this photo will be the beginning of a success story. If not, it'll give us all an example of what not to do. Let's hope for the first!
George staked the pole bean trellis, which in past years has blown and blown and blown over with any bit of wind. This year it's solidly in the ground and ready for us to actually plant something!
Elijah worked on his knife sharpening skills and George cleaned out the bird houses so they could be re-hung.
We have enjoyed this beautiful day! Tomorrow thunderstorms are in the forecast, and we could really use the rain so we'll be glad for it. Tonight I go to my women's drumming circle, in honor of the full moon and Earth Day. Perhaps I'll post on that tomorrow!
