Rain and more rain...

After another two days of serious rain the big hole has about 4 to six inches of standing water. Most of it is toward the center...hopefully once everything is planted the plans will suck up most of the water pretty quick. Tomorrow I start planting.

Rain, rain, rain

Was planning to work in the big hole in the ground, but the rain put a stop to that. I already have little lettuce sprouts poking their heads up. I will play with posting some pictures tomorrow of the garden, and my cute little seedlings!

Well it is a start anyway.

The big ass garden pond project is off to a slow start, but it is off to a start. I have a great heap of chicken and duckshit mixed with straw that soon will be spread throughout the garden area. White clover will grow very well down ther and the bees, they will be happy. I have decided to use untreated 2x4 to frame 4x4, 4x6, and 4x8 beds. Here in South Mississippi they will not last long, but they will frame the beds long enough for what I need. This will ensure anyone visiting will not walk on the beds. After the boards rot the beds will have a distinctive shape that you just can't miss. I'm not sure Fukuoka would have agreed with me, but I think this will work just fine here.
