This year's bounty
The day my brother-in-law left for SLC, we planted our seeds in starters (March 28th). A few days later (April 1st) we changed our garden a bit and added some raised beds. We had a local gravel/dirt company deliver 3.5 tons of planter's mix dirt and we filled the beds with it, along with a bunch of organic additives. We've been composting for a year, but aren't going to use the compost just yet, as we keep adding to it, so it's not ready. We have slowly been transplanting the seeds from the starters into the garden, and so far most of our bounty already looks better than last year's! We also put in pear, apple and plum trees, along with some berry bushes. We're hoping that our gardens produce enough that we are overwhelmed and get to have our friends over to pick their own fruits and veggies from the Fletcher Family Homestead. :)
