i'm not gonna just post tons of pics showing you all of the dirt that i tilled this weekend. well. the dirt that matt tilled anyway... i wasn't allowed to use the rototiller by myself. i think that he thought i would get hurt. anyways, everything got tilled so quickly! the side yard, the two existing raised beds, the area that is being built into a raised bed and the bean/pea zone: all of it got tilled in about 45 minutes. when i was talking about tearing it up, i had a friend tell me to do it by hand and mash cardboard into it but why do all of that when you have an amazing rototiller available? its all so much easier, so even though the more responsibly, ecological thing to do would be to do it all by hand... i'm really hoping that mother nature will forgive me for taking the easy way out this one time...?????
it all got done. that was the point. we tried to spread some hay out and till it in but it was too wet, so matt just ended it up raking it up and setting it behind the compost fence so that as it decomposes, i can use it then.
both of our brassicas seed varieties sprouted already with these cute little clover leaf-ish sprouts. also.
wait for it...
wait for it...
wait for it...
two more of our pepper varieties also popped up! we now have "picante calabrese (hot)"and "bolivian rainbow (hot)" sprouts. it's been a great couple of days here. we have two more types of pepper seeds waiting to pop up... hopefully.
i took some time off of work, just the rest of the week, so i'm going to put in the rock pathways and get some greens started. this weekend, many of the flower seeds are going to get started. hopefully it stays warm... cause i have stuff to do!
