For the past two months I have been in the spring spirit , at least since I put my green house together at the other end of the yard. The part of the yard with a weird shape that you really do not know what to do with. Since the first picture of the green house standing , the whole area was cleared of the raspberries, they were either given away or put in a buckets waiting for me to make them a home. The vegetable beds were moved from the front yard to the official vegetable garden, the strawberries were dug and put aside in a container until I was ready to plant them, raspberries were transplanted and trimmed. When I moved the raised beds from the front yard I filled the base of the beds at their new location with composts with a lots of leaves, a layer of horse manure, another layer of compost and then the soil that was in the raised bed at the first place then I dusted the whole work with some wood ashes for a good measure. My future veggies should be happy there . . one bed is covered and I scattered some aurigula seeds, they are starting to come out so are the lettuce in the greenhouse. The strawberries were planted a month ago at the same time as I planted the Raspberries, the strawberries seem to be happy in their new home. now I am waiting for spring....
