2011 Garden - Week 2

Week 2, ending the weekend of Feb 26 & 27, was pretty similar to Week 1... more soil prep, more planting in the greenhouse.  Got the wood border around the garden two-thirds finished, and started shovel-turning the soil.  Shovelling is a slow process, but in my opinion it gets deeper than tilling.  It is also an amazing stress reliever.  The boys helped, too, which made me happy.

The seed that needed to be started in the greenhouse is now almost all in pots.  Peppers, 4 varieties of tomatoes, cukes, and eggplant.  I also bought a 4-pack of cabbage plants for $1.75.  It's still too early to put stuff in the ground...we had frost last night!  The lettuces in pots have really thin stems...I'm a little worried about that, and I wonder if I'm over watering them.

That weekend, my wife cleaned out a flower bed right next to our greenhouse, also in preparation for planting.  She's going to put flowers in there.
