It's just 2 4 X 8 raised beds but this is the first year I've grown my own veggies for way to many years. My soil in the perfect spot, close to the house and water right there turned out to be clay gravel. I knew that it would kill me to make that dirt right but I was determined. It has taken almost a year to dig in enough organic matter to make it close to acceptable for planting.
Tomorrow I'm coming out of isolation for a bit. I'll be heading to my favorite necessary business, the feed store. Rather than go through the back pain involved in pulling the metal fence posts I pounded in about 20 years ago to fence my goats, I'm going to buy new metal posts. I only need 5 or 6 to fence my veggie garden. I've already got the 4 x 4 corner posts in, and I have plenty of fencing.
I had veggie seedlings starting in Jiffy pots. A huge wind came in during the night and blew them all into the grass. I'm will take the easy way out and buy live plants instead. I'm a little disappointed because I bought seeds proven to do well down south. But the feed store plants will do. I'll put my fancy seeds in the freezer and use them next year.
