As much as I love my garden, I hate grass. This is why I was so happy to see about 60 more square feet go away today. I just don't understand why we work so hard to have nice green lawns that give nothing back but a need for maintenance. Today I put in a new planting bed along our front porch, which will (hopefully) have some dwarf blueberries planted in it soon.
I opted to haul all my supplies back from Lowes in my van. It was feeling a bit heavy on the drive back, because I had it loaded down with 600 pounds of manure/compost, 9 cubic feet of pine bark, and about 12 cubic feet of peat moss. The bed is intended to give the blueberries a more acidic environment than they would normally get here in Central Texas soil.
Not all of the manure and compost was destined for the new bed. Some of it went into my garden so I could prepare for potato planting next week. You can see from the picture the four ridge of soil, which will become two rows once the dirt is all pulled in over the growing potato plants.
