Our New Plot


A couple of weeks ago I was getting all set to build two 4x8 veggie beds and place over the asphalt area in the back. This was going to be a bit of labor because I would need to chip some holes in the asphalt for drainage and then schlep tons of wood to build the boxes (plus buy the wood). I kept looking for a new location of potential planting and then stumbled upon an area that is about 10x8 right outside our back door! It had landscaping fabric on it and there used to be wood chips on it we moved here. We pulled back the fabric and it was all dirt and good dirt! Dante and I began working the ground, added some compost and now we have a new addition to plant more veggies. So far we have put in 3 different carrot seeds; French Babette, Romeo (round baby) and a Sunshine mix (yellow & orange). Here is a picture of our new plot of land...the potted plants are temporary placed their to deter our puppy Diego out of the bed.
