Progress

Raised beds are finished and planting has begun.  So exciting!  I go out every morning to see if I can find anything new sprouting up.  It is such a miracle!

Each bed has its own watering system and we also have a spicket in the pathway to allow for hand watering if needed. Cool, eh?  Makes it so easy!  

We've got everything labeled with little white posts.  More important than you would think.  First of all, being a first go at this, not everything that sprouts out of the ground is recognizable - at least to me.  Second, it can help keep you from planting seeds on top of seeds ~ that is, if you place the posts when you plant.  Currently we have bell peppers planted on top of the potatoes.  Guess we will see which sprout first and then move them.   And hopefully potato sprouts look very different from bell pepper sprouts!
