The weather is beautiful, so there's lots of work to be done. After filling the garden with a thick layer of compost and mulching around the outer border, we planted marigolds on the corners of the lot. The next step was tilling. We had some trouble finding a tiller, and once we did get a hold of one, the belt broke! Luckily, we had a great number of helpful volunteers. We managed to hand-till almost half of the garden. We planted rows of yellow and white onions, red and white potatoes, beets, carrots, and peas. Later in the week, we borrowed a tiller from our friend Verlyn at Culver's. He was even so sweet as to set up a huge water barrel so we could water the garden without lugging buckets from Clark Racquet Center. Hopefully we'll see our plants start springing up!
