Spingtime Gardening
Last year we hand dug our garden plot because I read that a rototiller would compact the subsoil. We broke the sod and dug 9 3′x15′ beds. This year we took the easy route and borrowed a rototiller. Wow. What took about 20 hours last year took about 3 with the tiller. We have a lot less time now a days so I’m not going to beat myself up over this. The fact that we are even putting in a vegetable garden is enough.
So, we inspected the asparagus patch and the strawberry patch we planted last year and things. The strawberry plants look fine. I can’t say the same for the asparagus. Hopefully we didn’t destroy it through mismanagement.
I think we’ll plant some fancy lettuces and spinach this week. Yumo.
