After a winter full of planning our garden, buying seeds, drawing and redrawing rows and rows of veggies, it was so exciting when it was FINALLY time to get started. The beginnings were hard. Our 20'x20' plot was covered in weeds that had to be pulled. There were TONS of rocks in the soil that needed to be dug up. Then we started the process of double digging the rows in our garden.
Since we haven't used this plot before we have no idea what the soil has been through up to now. We also know that they till under all of the garden plots so we decided to double dig our plot and add lots of compost to the soil. It was hard work for poor Brad, but it's the sort of hard that is really satisfying. Who knew that we'd turn into such gardeners?!
The kids got their own special part of the garden that we reserved for them because it will be planted over last. They enjoyed digging their own dirt.
...and we got the first seeds in the ground. These are our seed potatoes! Yay! We're looking forward to Yukon Gold potatoes out of the garden this summer.
