Beds Are Ready....for The Coming Snow!

[jdmidwest]

Tilled the garden on Thurs. Put together the raised beds and dug them in. I bought 30 bags of Humus/Manure from Wally World and filled them up. I dug up my horseradish and moved it into a small raised bed, saved the extra roots to start a bed at the farm. Started digging up some strawberry plants that had over run in a part ot the garden, ended up with over 70 new plants. They made a nice big bed.

The garden was too wet to really be tilled, but I broke it anyway. Surely all the rains of the next few days will break up all the clumps. I held off planting anything, but have it all planned as to where it will go.

I came in tonight after using parts of the body that have been relaxed since duck season pretty sore. Checked the net, chance of snow on Monday night. Then a good frosting on Tuesday night. Good thing I did not plant anything. Gonna have to cover the other stuff up to keep it from getting burned. Gotta love this weather.

Here are some pics. The first is the beds I made. Then the horseradish and strawberry bed. Next is the bed with lettuce and snowpeas. Then the zucchini under glass. Finally one of my other strawberry beds, already blooming.

Did not get the snow. Good rain settled everything nicely.

Covered up strawberries, lettuce and peas, and squash for the frost tonight.
