The weather still isn't right for out door garden work but in side I can PLAN!!!!! Hooray for the Internet and a lovely man to bump ideas off of.
The list:
- corn
- bok choy
- strawberries
- sweet peas
- Japanese Eggplant
- pumpkins
- melon
- tomato
- squash
- Sunflowers( Hopefully to make a fort this year)
My backyard is an empty slate. When we rented the house 5 years ago it was nicely racked dirt. The rain bring lots of wild grass and my itch to grow. You may have seen my garden a few years ago. It was good but this year it will be AWESOME!!!! As I've done before I will keep you posted on our progress.
These are the first pictures of the awful truth we need to deal with before ugly is pretty. Currently it's fun. It has a ton of ladybugs and hours of fun catching them.
First part of the adventure this year is the compost.
About 3 months back I filled a huge 80 gallon bin with yard clippings. I am hoping to use this as a starting place for my compost. So far it is 12 inches shorter than it has been.
Craiglist.org will be my starting place for a composting drum that I can easily turn the decomposing clipping and eventually organic kitchen waste. Wish me luck!

I don't know why I am not showing up in your followers! It keeps removing me from all of the blogs I do in fact, follow. But then, they are in my reader under followed blogs. Weird.
Thanks for putting my button up!! :D :D
I love your new layout, by the way.
PS. Good luck with the gardening!! I so want to one day, but not quite yet.
Also, I am SO jealous you are composting!! I have always wanted to, but not made a point. As it is we do separate though and put into the yard waste, at the least. :)
You're there just a silhouette. My son and I went looking for a bin to compost easy in today. I'll have to find the one we like and post it. I also found some steals on raised bed kits for the gardens. $5 for 4x4 wood and $7 for 4x4 plastic.
