Garden Preparations

Karen and I have been working in our garden a lot in the recent weeks.

Our large "Sunny Garden" needed some work: weeding, fertilizing, tilling, pruning, thinning, etc.

Here is how the area looked before we began our work project.  The first photo is a view to the south.  The second photo is a view to the north. 

Here is how the Sunny Garden looks after our gardening efforts.  I removed the dying Lelyandi cypress tree at the south end of this garden.  All the weeds were removed and placed in the compost pile at the north end of this garden area. 

We still have swiss chard, cabbages, onions, garlic and other winter plants in this garden.  This past weekend we took a chance and planted two tomato starts in this garden.  Our frost date is April 10th, so we will need to protect the tomatoes if the temperature should drop.  We still have some tilling and weeding left to do in this garden; however, the bulk of the preparatory work will be accomplished before April. 

Here is a view to the west.
