Today it is cold and grey so I won't be outside working away like I wanted. I am DYING to get my tomatos and peppers into the ground. The very next warm day, they are going in and I'll just fight the frost.
Yesterday my stepfather and husband got the vegetable garden rotertillered. I pulled my bean trellesis' out of the shed and put those up. Then I planted a row of peas and some carrots. I think it's okay to plant carrots now. The packet didn't say and I know my mom has planted hers.
Last year my vegetable garden was a HUGE flop. We got way too much rain. Everything rotted and turned yellow and the weeds over ran the whole place. None of the beans even sprouted last year.
So this year I'm determined to grow peas, even though I don't really like regular peas, I thought it would be fun for the girls to crack them open and harvest them. I can always freeze them an add them to things. The snap peas I think will be good (that kind I do like :).
I started tomatos and peppers from seed this year and they are over ready to be planted because I started them in January like a dumb bum. The peppers are the right size, but the tomatos are 'leggy' (as my mom says) and they need to be in the garden and caged since they have outgrown my window.

I would have preferred to use something more natural looking other than the black plastic, but the grass will grow in and hopefully you won't be able to see it as much. :)
Oh and yes, there are still leaves everywhere from where I raked out the beds. Husband is in charge of that!
