hello again. I joined you all here last month. I had told you I was trying the square foot gardening again this year again. (last year we had compost that wasnt ready, not a great garden) This year we are trying again, with hopefully better dirt (we make our own, and last years) and hopefully better turnout. A couple had mentioned they would like to see photos. Well we finally finished planting this week (our spring has been very cool and yucky) I started some tomatoes from seeds about 6-7 weeks ago but they are so tiny still but I put them out anyway with a couple plants we purchased. HOpefully my tiny ones will grow because my husband and son really teased me about them. If they grow great..if not..i'll just cry So not sure if this is where I would post some pictures, hope its ok. Cross your fingers that things go better than last year!
Also throwing in a few of my yard. We are adding new fence in June and when it's all done we are going to redo the flowerbeds with compost so will look a lot neater. Also plan on adding a sprinkler system next month. Always a work in progress!
