Soil is prepped and seeds are here

Category: My Front Yard Garden | Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 9:55 pm

Well my soil has been loosened and a couple inches of some real nice compost has been added.

Check this truck load out and guess how much a load of compost like this costs.

Just $12.50 for all of this. There were probably 2 wheelbarrow loads laying on the ground behind the truck when I pulled away because the bucket on the loader was longer then the truck.

So here is the ground prepped

Here is the top coated garden

Here is my Cilantro growing from last years seed drop.

This is what the contents of the cold frame looks like.

AsI mentioned above my seeds arrived today. Tommorow the sugar snap peasgo in the ground and I start a tray of seeds inside.

Seeya,
Uncle Jabba

Drool, drool! You are so lucky to be able to do that now. We're still having frosts and waiting for more snow.

Lovely uncle Jabba - a lot of hard work, but it is all worth it. My mouth is watering just reading about the stuff that you are going to put in the soil.
