I didn’t get as much done on the garden as I had hoped I would, but
\nit’s still going ok. I got around half the dirt put back in the hole,
\nalong with the straw lining underneith, and have the edging laid out
\nwhere I want it. I still have to level off the ground under the edging
\nand make it match up right, and then shore it up with more dirt, but
\nthe edging will be done after that. <\/p>\n
We did go buy more soil, got 3 more bags, because the 3 I had barely
\nmade one layer in the hole. Once the new dirt was in (the first layer),
\nwe put more of the old stuff in to make it high enough for the edging.
\nI still have to put in the rest of the dirt, and the new dirt, and the
\nmanure, once the edging is completely in place. We’ll hopefully finish
\nthat tomorrow, and plant on Friday. I had hoped to be done today except
\nfor the planting because the weather was supposed to be bad tonight and
\ntomorrow, but it ended up that it will be ok afterall, so I wasn’t
\nworried about it. It was much hotter than forcast today, so we didn’t
\nwant to work too hard, and didn’t start until around 4pm. We shopped
\nfirst, then worked on the garden after. It was much better once we got
\nback, and had started to get breezy, so it was almost pleasant again.
\nIt’s much easier to put the dirt back in, than it was to take it out,
\nbut still not something to do when it is 80. <\/p>\n
So far I’m pretty pleased with it. It looks good, and the soil we
\ngot is really nice. Very black and organic. We didn’t take any pictures
\ntoday, but will take more once the edging is in, and then more again
\nwhen it is finished. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
