We tilled the whole plot by hand. It took a lot of time and body aches but I really feel like the more love and hard work you put into your garden the better your produce will be :)
Houdini LOVES to help...of course.
We tilled a few inches into the ground and then added 15 (1 cubic foot) bags of Miracle Grow Garden Soil, two 40lb bags of Cow Manure and three 40lb bags of Top Soil, with a little bit of Peet Moss.
I've got big plans this year, so I went ahead and got one of those pop green house thingys in addition to my DIY Seed Starters,
Initially we didn't till all the way to the end of the bed on one side because it can get pretty soggy; we ended up using the bag of Miracle Grow we saved and planted some flowers and herbs.
What better way to relax after a day in the yard than by sitting by a fire with the person you love?!
Are you guys gardening this year?!
