Green Gardening

While toying with the idea of "getting down and dirty" on Earth Day's 40th Anniversary, I decided that I would plant an organic garden again- something I've done in the past and am looking forward to once again.

So, on April 22nd, 2010, Earth Day was commemorated by the planting of seeds...and all the rest that now comes with that decision. Some shortcuts were taken, given the fact that the decision was made this year, rather than last...

To date, the "Compost Cake" has been mixed and has now had its "wet/liquid" ingredients added- Thanks, Mother Nature, lol! (i.e., wet from 4 days of moderate rain and light snowfall); the rain barrels placed under the drain spouts are full and overflowing, and the demarcation of the garden is set on fallowed ground, perfect for growing since the soil has been at rest for about 5 years now...
