So still no “garden” plants to plant, but there’s still progress. We have some wheat grass volunteering in the straw bale beds so we went down about 12 inches and turned them over.
The inside was moist and warm. Lots of excellent cooking going on. The overturned grass will become compost. In the background you can see the soil being dug out to plant our mystery tree.
We also turned two of the smaller beds.
A friend gave me 2 plants. One of which is blue vervain. I lost the labels. This is the one that was trying to take over our living room. I guess we’ll have to let it grow for a while to figure out what it is.
(haha… The way I’ve cropped the picture makes it look really tiny. It’s about 3.5 feet long. Below is the uncropped photo.)
We planted some black beans in one of the raised beds and then in the smaller beds we direct sowed some pansies and petunias. We’ll see how those turn out. Direct sowed the beans without adding soil. Figured those seeds are cheap enough that we can do a little experimentation.
We also bought some flowers for the pots on the front porch. Our pregnant kitty is curious about the Earth niblets we have on display. Anybody gonna want a kitten?
So that was a bit of our day on Saturday. We’re looking forward to finally getting our bales out back and starting on the fence. But that’s a couple of weeks away. Until then, the shed out back needs some attention and I really do need to finally transfer some of those seedlings!
