Out in the raised beds.
The black tubing is soaker hose. I love soaker hoses. They do a great job of watering without touching the plant with disease inducing water on the leaves. I needed to get it out of the beds so I could add the soil.
This is the peat, raked out in the potato beds. Potatoes don’t do well with manure but corn and tomatoes do. The third bed: I need to move some stuff out of it, but it’s going to be full of Roma tomatoes. They did really well for me last year and I have a flat of them in the kitchen right now. So the rest of the composted manure is going over there.
This is what I did in a single day. I love spring. I get so much done!
Meet you out in the garden to put in the potatoes, tomatoes and corn!

Wow what a lot of work!!! I hope you share your progress with pics…lots of them… and often!!! New gardens are so exciting!
I only have one bed surrounded by blocks, and I have them around my compost center. I fill the holes in the blocks and plant in them too!
I have always left mine open to attract spiders and other predatory insects. I never need to spray. I also have not moved these blocks for thirteen years on the oldest bed. I love that they last so long! Thanks so much for coming by and commenting! I appreciate the visit!
Yes, they are the perfect solution for lots of needs.
This time of year can be SO frustrating when we get behind schedule! My new garden must be delayed for another year because it is not yet cleared of trees. (Most of the area is cleared, but there are big madrone trees above it.) I can see others enjoying their gardens, but I can only garden in the minimal space that I already have operational. Gads!
I still have the play area full of hip high grass. I bought a trimmer and now can’t find the charger for it! So frustrating! Plus my twelve year old pear died last year and I have to cut it down. Baby steps, I guess.
