Anxious


I broke the main rule of "lasgna gardening". (Lasagna Gardening by Parricia Lanza) I stirred the pot. I turn the soil. I had to. It was like a itch, or a tick. I pulled some of the larger chucks of paper and stems that had not broken down at all. Note to self, smaller pieces breakdown faster. I may invest in a used food processor to keep in the garage and pulse my kitchen scraps before adding them to the compost. Anyways I have 7 raised beds, I stirred up three of them. I planted my three bush beans that had done so well indoors.

Oooopppsss!

I forgot all about "hardening off", dang I hope they don't die. Perhaps the toilet paper roll will protect them. Besides the soil is pretty warm. That must be an advantage to this lasagna method. The soil is active, therefore warm.

I picked up some onion sets, potatoes, red cabbage and cauliflower that I will try to plant tomorrow.
