I hope your next crop of goodies grows as well as your last one in your made-to-order plot. Like all of your readers, I look forward to hearing about your further developments in the garden.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345640038135299538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-91724046139071250212007-10-06T01:41:00.000-07:002007-10-06T01:41:00.000-07:00Hi Christina,Thanks for the nice comment you recen...Hi Christina,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the nice comment you recently left on my blog.<BR/><BR/>I've only had a few minutes now to look at your blog, but it look great! It's nice to see someone else who reads Michael Pollan's stuff. I hope to spend more time soon reading some of your earlier posts.<BR/><BR/>I've added you to my RSS feed, and I look forward to following along in your garden.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your new raised beds!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-62503163216385175972007-10-03T16:59:00.000-07:002007-10-03T16:59:00.000-07:00KUDOS!!!!

The hard part is done, look forward to seeing what you have in store the the garden.....

I'm just hoping that not everything turns out grey (though on the cedar it will look lovely)--let's hope it all grows!<BR/><BR/>Christa: You must feel good now that you've successfully pulled out the sod. It is so hard to do, but such a good feeling once accomplished.<BR/><BR/>Winedeb: I planted quite a few seeds and garlic already, but some things do better if planted a little later, so I'm holding off on some crops. I'll start posting about each crop as seedlings come up. The pizza and beer tasted extra special that night.<BR/><BR/>Wendy: I slept like a fallen log in an undiscovered forest. It was delicious sleep.<BR/><BR/>Ann: I can't wait either. I just hope something does come out of it.<BR/><BR/>Susan in Italy: That is me pushing the tiller. With each pass, we'd almost have to pull the tiller back so it wouldn't run away from us, skirting over the surface of the dirt. We had to resist the tiller and press it down, deep into the soil. It certainly was arduous.<BR/><BR/>Kristan: Exciting indeed. I've got lots of good green folic acid veggies growing if you're needing a pre-natal vitamin boost.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-40048886141245525812007-10-01T17:04:00.000-07:002007-10-01T17:04:00.000-07:00Mmmm, your own veggies!

That's the clearest expression of "arduous" I've seen in a long time.

I am thrilled that your garden is taking shape (and a little jealous too!) Looking forward to hearing exactly what you are planting and then seeing the first of the sprouting. <BR/>You have alot to celebrate and what a better way to do it than with pizza and beer!

A new vegetable garden! My husband and I also pulled up some of the sod in our backyard yesterday. That has got to be the least fun part of starting a new garden, but it will be worth it when the space is pooling over with melons, tomatoes, beans... and more. Enjoy!Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905386163490128028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-67526985223546745572007-09-30T04:35:00.000-07:002007-09-30T04:35:00.000-07:00I love cedar.

Pushing a rototiller is a killer, that and dragging around bales of peat moss. You earned every beer you had.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.com
