We got our garden set up today. We went over first thing in the morning and hoed and raked out all the weeds, turned over the dirt and hoed up the clumps, and mixed in a couple of wheel barrels full of dirt and compost. It started to rain so we came home, but later we went back and planted carrots, beans and corn. There is a plant sale next weekend for tomatoes and peppers and then we will plant some more beans and squash in a few weeks. We already have green onions, cilantro and basil coming up in the pots on our porch, but no sign yet of the parsley. Sara also planted some flowers on the porch.
Then later, my arms were too sore and tired to hold up a skewer for the kabobs we were trying to make for dinner!
Unfortunately, we realized too late that today happened to be World Naked Gardening Day (warning, there are extremely surprising and hilarious old naked hippies waiting for you on that site). Oh well, maybe next year. Or maybe not…I think gardening definitely falls under the category of “bad naked“
So cool that you have a garden! So terrible that they will take it away next year.
Does Chicago have any p-patches? There are waiting lists to get plots in them in Seattle.
