Well, I've done two things today: work in the garden and cut coupons. Those two tasks took up my entire day. One would think that I'd be tired but of course on days when I feel like I get a lot done I can not get my brain to calm down to rest.
A lot of what I wanted in my garden was planted today. I am so excited! This year we did raised beds. Thanks to the gardening course I took with Joshua and Beth Haynes at Birdsong Community Farm I learned the value of a no-till garden. Honestly, there is more plants in this years garden then last year's even though I cut off about two feet from each of my rows. The reason is now I have four - five by eight feet beds and the plants are not spaced apart by walkways - they are side by side. My walkways are down the middle of the entire garden. Not sure what you can tell by the pictures.
