Preparing the Garden and Herb Garden

Monday March 16, 2009
Well, it is that time of year. We purchased 1 yard of compost/top soil from Randy's Lakeview Nursery on Friday and went back for another yard on Monday and we were told that they were unable to sell it because it was too wet. So we traveled out to American Topsoil and picked up a yard and a 1/2 (their bucket was a little more full than Randy's) for $10 more. Jill went to tilling on Monday afternoon, and sadly, cut the cable line ;0(
Sometimes it good to have no cable and no access to the internet.
Anyway, we planted potatoes and onions.

The new herb garden we added is coming along nicely. We still need to put up edging to keep the soil from washing away, but we will do that on Friday. Here are a few pics that might show the scope of our amazing garden.

I will look forward to each posting on your blog. It will give me joy to watch each facet of your garden. It brings back wonderful memories of the gardens I grew. Hopefully, I will again later this year. Mom
