One thirty in the afternoon and Bandit and i just came in from working in the garden. Well, I was working. He was watching.
Shelled out $150 for fifteen bags of garden soil and a bag of peat moss. Add that to the three bags of soil, two more bags of peat moss, soil acidifier, vegetable fertilizer, a bale of cut straw for mulch, and 16 Mary Washington asparagus plants for an additional $100.
Good thing that's a one-time cost. Plus, I'll get more vegetables than that from the garden this year. Hopefully enough to freeze and can.
Prepared the small raised bed with six bags of garden soil and one of peat moss. A generous scoop of black cow was placed under a couple inches of soil in each of the fourteen asparagus mounds. Then the plants were covered with soil, watered in and mulched with the aforementioned straw.
I'm done in. Going to rehydrate and rest for a bit.
