I also sowed some melon seeds from our last cantaloupe just to see if anything will come up. Some other stuff we got in the ground was a mix of squash starts, bush bean seeds and some flower seeds. I'm wanting a full garden of vegetables with colorful flowers surrounding them.
We split up and did double duties one day this week...I tended to the potato beds by covering the sprouts with a layer of dirt and the hubby cut up some more logs. Wheeling dirt to the potatoes turned out to be more work than I thought and luckily Mr. Homestead helped me finish it up after lunch that day. I forgot to get a picture after we covered them on Wednesday and today when I went out there's more sprouts coming through the layer of dirt already. The plan for this next week is to finish up the drip line and get the rest of our starts in plus any other chores we come up with along the way. Well it's about time to go put the ladies to bed and pick up the eggs they've left us, night.
