Garden Progress

Our one big garden turned into three smaller beds. The actual area is the same, but it should be easier to maintain this way since we can walk in between the beds and reach the middles without getting in the dirt.


After the beds were laid out, we removed the grass, then loosened the "soil" (if you can call this hard, red stuff soil). We added in peat, manure, fertilizer, and leaves to each bed. "We" is the wrong pronoun here, since I have yet to do anything other than make the suggestion of a garden. Does it count as "we" if I watch and take pictures?

According to our information from the Clemson Extension service, Feb was time to plant cabbage and broccoli from seedlings and radish and peas from seeds which we had done.

Then the snow came.

And here we are today. No sign of the seeds growing, but the broccoli and cabbage surely do like the cold because after sitting under the snow for about 2-3 days, they look healthier and have grown.
