Today, we spent about 8 gaskillion calories on starting a garden. Cary had already planted some vegetables in temporary pots — squash, tomatoes and sweet bell peppers — so they had a head start.
As it turns out, a couple of the squash plants were already sprouting squash in the temporary planter, so Cary left them there for now:
This morning, we rented a light duty tiller and spent an hour or so breaking up the soil. Turns out there are a lot of rocks in that dirt, but I think it’ll work out ok. We waited until later in the afternoon to finish up, adding some fertilizer and garden soil and clearing out as many rocks and buried tree trunks as possible.
The vegetables are all planted and watered, so now we rest.
We still need to make a better border around the garden, but for now, the small landscaping ties will do.
I think the sun and the transplanting was a bit hard on the plants, so they wilted a bit. Hopefully, a night in bed and some fresh water will perk them up again.
