Bed Prep

Yesterday we planned out the garden beds and raked back the straw into paths to expose the areas for planting. For now, we plan to use the straw as mulching until we come up with a better plan. In fact, nearly all of our efforts are experimental as we add practical experience to the little reading we've done. We'll use top soil to fill the beds for planting later in the weeks to come. We're being careful not to plant too early, but the starts on our dining room table are looking rather large, even after one week; we're anxious to get them into the ground.
