We have just enough compost and more than enough boards to add two more beds to the front yard, so we're going to! D. waterproofed enough boards for two beds that measure 5' x 17'. These will go in between the oak tree at the street (well out of its shadow/root system) and the asparagus bed.
Today while D. was waterproofing the boards, I planted Sakata melons (small 3-4" melons w/edible rind) in the bed near the chicken coop, and Thai basil, slo-bolt basil, and slo-bolt cilantro around the edges of the future tomato/pepper bed. The tomato and pepper seedlings grew a LOT today, so those should be coming along. I weep to think how big the seedlings we had would have been by now had the hoop house not blown apart!
Suddenly it was nearly 7:15 and we hadn't made dinner yet. The kids weren't complaining - they'd been swinging and playing in the sprinkler!
