Garden 2010

This year is our first attempt at a vegetable garden. I promised myself I won't cry this year if I kill everything. It's a trial and error year.

Step 1:
We had Damon's friend use his equipment to rip the grass up:


Step 2:
Add our Cotton Burma compost and Chicken Manure to the soil:



Step 3:
Till into the ground to make fertile:



Step 4:
Set up landscape timbers to keep the dogs out. Which by the way doesn't work.


Step 5:
Added 5 scoops of 'garden mix' dirt to the top of soil to build up the beds:


Step 6:
Make your rows with the hoe which makes you sore the next day.


Step 7:
Plant your vegetables! Also add plastic planters in between the tomatoes to have the ability to apply fertilizer directly to the roots:


Step 8:
Add your drip irrigation system with the help of your Daddy!


Step 9:
Add a cover to my cucumbers and squash cause they were sooooo little that the wind and the sun was beating them up. So I used concrete reinforcement wire and burlap material to cover them like so:


Step 10:
Pray that you don't kill everything you just planted!
