I See Some Work on the Horizon

I stopped by Perkins earlier this afternoon to water some seedlings and was surprised to find that the entire plot had been tilled! Just breaking up the heavy soil at Perkins on a sunny weekend has resulted in a much drier garden.

But it will be a week at least yet before I can start getting things planted out there. We plan to till the garden a second time in about a week so that the soil is more workable for planting. If it stays dry, we may be able to plant before the projected date of May 18. I sure wouldn't mind getting some early corn in.

Last week, I planted some lettuces, spinach, broccoli raab and chard, and all are coming up except the chard. I hope to put in some snow peas at Perkins this week.
