This year is full of all kinds of experiments. We planted seeds along with our transplants. The seeds are already busting through the soil!

Prepping the soil bed


Damian & I just finished prepping the soil today. It has been tilled, composted, & fertilized. We got a whole truck bed of soil & compost from St. Peter's EarthCentre for $15.

Next, we plan to plant the root veggies and leafy greens!

Damian is loading up our garden with beautiful compost

Soil test

I purchased a $3 soil test & we found out we have high alkaline & high NPK. I am still not sure if that is good or bad. I hope our plants like it!

Watching our plants grow

It is enjoyable to watch these beautiful plants grow - I would say it is a mixture of awe and hope. Damian paces back and forth watching our plants grow. I think he is adorable!





New books!

We just got an awesome delivery from Amazon! Both books came highly recommended.
