The Vegetable Garden 2009

So, we had a successful garden last year - for sure. And, yes, we actually still have some frozen veggies from that harvest (which we have vowed to eat before things start blooming this year). But, we just can't be stopped there ... and so the garden is being expanded.

Not the greatest photo since there isn't much to show the scale ... but this was one massive stump that had to be removed.



To increase the probability of really good vegetables, one must "double dig" the garden. All 350 sq ft of it (an area that is larger than our kitchen!) I gave that chore a go this year and accomplished about 3/8th of the total area - not too bad for a girl that hates shovels. KP: you'd be proud!



A few more weeks and we'll have some little seedlings in the massive garden. Some seedlings have been started in the house and are currently residing in our bedroom. Yes, that's right, in the bedroom ... it just happens to be the room with the best light. :)
