NEW RAISED BED!

Not a good day for gardening today, as it was super windy, plus I worked all day.
Tomorrow, I plan to go to the local hydroponic store.  One of the owners has recommended cocozelli seeds, (squash) to try this year.  If I start them now, they and the newest part of my NEW RAISED BED!!!! will both be ready.  This new section will get lots of organic soil and compost.  It was covered with mulch, and mint was infiltrating.  I am committed to keeping the mint at bay.  It is a lovely spearmint, however, it needs to be contained.  I have found it far away from it's source.  It is quite an opportunist!
My husband is concerned that I will be blogging too much.  My son wanted to see how many people had viewed my previous post.  Gotta love variety out of the garden too!

I'm embarking on a gardening adventure!  I'm taking my gardening hobby to a new level.  A real compost pile, raised beds, companion plants, improved soil, and eventually completely remaking my very large front lawn into a space not only for growing non-gmo, organic, local food, but a place of beauty.
