The Broody Bunch

I’ve finished filling the vegetable gardens today.  In the four garden beds, we have pumpkins, squash, spinach, cucumbers, watermelon, tomatoes, radishes, yellow peppers, carrots, beans, onions, beets, leaf lettuce, head lettuce, corn, green peppers, and I’m out of room!  After looking through some scrap lumber, we’ve found enough boards to make one more bed.  I’m going to fill the whole thing with potatoes. 

I finally got my lilies planted yesterday.  I bought the bulbs almost 3 weeks ago at the Bangor Home Show.  they’ve been sitting in my refrigerator ever since.  GH dug up the sod in front of our house.  I put down some peat and vermiculite (which I picked up yesterday) before planting the bulbs.  Then I put down a layer of black mulch.  I added some marigolds today and planted some mint in the corner.

I called the LFS today to find out when our chicks will arrive in.  Looks like the 13th!!  Wow!  Only four more days.  That’s about a week sooner than I expected!
