Vegetable Garden: The Site


The seedlings are up and growing well.  It's time to prepare a place to plant them.

It's just a short walk through the woods to the field where we can plant.


Well, not as short as I remember. 


She offered to help and we should have let her - she can dig like crazy!


It was hard to choose a site for one small bed in the midst of two acres.  We decided if the blackberries liked the spot, so did we.

A dozen years ago this was a cultivated field.  Now we are dealing with matted grasses and berry canes.

We chose well.  The soil is a soft, sandy loam that will be a pleasure to work with.
