Raised Beds - GO!

My father came by and with much sweat and toil we put together the two raised bed kits

Then began the enjoyable and not at all back-breaking process of filling them with soil.  Once that was done however, planting commenced.

Both beds are now full, truthfully they are over populated as more seedlings germinated than I anticipated.  The seeds from SeedsofChange continue to impress.  So we will see what manages to survive the transplant, and the cramped conditions.

Next up I will be clearing out a neglected in-ground bed that is next  to the tulips and planting the pumpkin vines there.  I will also be clearing out a section of the tulip bed and planting the watermelon vines, letting them grow over and around the tulips now that they have finished blooming.

Oh, and Dad generously gifted me a cool apple tree super-hybrid, that has a different variety on each branch.  My plan at the moment is to dig this tree in on one side of the tulip bed and install a more robust trellis to allow it to grow to the length of the bed.

Fingers crossed.
