Yesterday, I had 4 yards of Garden Mix soil delivered from Down to Earth Landscaping.

I was outside at 6:30 this morning, and the temperature was 38°. I installed landscape fabric at the bottoms of the three new beds to help keep the Canadian Thistle under control. Noe and his helper showed up around 7:15, and I showed him where I wanted the soil, and they went to work. I planted the new, large Jalapeño peppers in the container garden, completing the planting there.

Noe and his helper had moved the soil into the new beds and cleaned the driveway by 9:10. I paid him, and they were on their way. I went to the back, installed the trellises, and then planted beans, Swiss Chard, Celery Root, Zucchini, and Okra. That finished up the planting of the garden a little before 10:00! I think that’s a record. I only planted beans by two of the four trellises and will plant the rest sometime in June.

I still need to redo the herb garden and clen up the blackberries and mint garden.
