Preparing new ground
Today my elder daughter and I prepared the ground for our seedlings. We removed the sweet potato runners that need to go somewhere else, not sure where yet!
Then we added about 10 bags of our worm filled compost...it is thick and dark and free of smell.
We have in the past walked in this bed too much so we turned it over (sorry the no-dig enthusiasts) and then lay planks down that will be the walk ways.
We now have 4 mounded beds to be planted up. The second one I planted watermelon seeds. These melons are Amish heirloom ones called "Moon and Stars" which are apprently smaller than the big ones you find in the shops.
Can't wait! If you want to plant watermelons too for a summer snack please read the "how-to" here: http://www.simple-green-living.com/how-to-grow-watermelons.html
