Five yards of crushed gravel was delivered Friday afternoon and we spent the weekend laying landscape fabric and shoveling gravel.  My husband also made a trip to the lumber store to purchase the cedar for the beds and those were also constructed.  All but two that is.

Our Tagro was delivered Tuesday afternoon after I frantically spent an hour laying down cardboard and wetting it down.  I then spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday shoveling Tagro.  I did have help from my husband and son.

I didn’t have the opportunity to take photos yesterday, but this is the progress by the end of the day Tuesday.  One half of the garden is complete and two of the beds are filled.  I am go to go with planting the lettuce, beets, carrots and onions… finally.  Theoretically I could plant pumpkins too since that bed is done.  However, the weather is not that nice.

As things progress I’m noticing that I have much more space than I thought I would have.  I’m considering designating a special part of the garden for my son to plant whatever he wants.  I go back and forth between “oh dear lord what did I get myself into” and “holy cow look at how much I can grow!”

Now if the rain would stop and I can find more newspaper I can get it all finished.
