Garden 2011

Over the weekend, I planted 10 geraniums in the window boxes, 8 tomato plants in the back yard, 4 blueberry bushes near the tomatoes, and two red bell pepper plants.

It was a tremendous amount of work. I moved the garden back to the area where we used to have it in the back yard. I'm hoping the tomatoes will do better back there, since they have done well there in the past. Last year's diseased tomatoes were a huge disappointment. The garden plot had been completely taken over by crabgrass, which had grown through the weed blocking fabric I had used back there years ago. So I had to pull up the old fabric and crab grass, and then work some misc stuff into the bad clay soil back there.

Hope it goes well.
