Garden of Gumbo

 I can't believe that we are crazy enough to try this again but we are going to try and do a garden again.  Last year we didn't get it watered very well and it only grew a bit but we really want to make it work. 

Part of the problem was that the water would run right through the soil and not leave any for the plants.  Nate did a bit of research and we decided to try putting plastic down underneath the soil to help hold in the water and keep the plants growing in the good soil.  Which meant we had to move all of the soil out and put it back in.



I will not be able to walk tomorrow.  But it's done and ready to have a bit more done to the soil to help it grow veggies.

Nate found a pepper from last years attempt.


Beautiful and ready for more work.  No, there are not plants in those tomato cages, we just needed somewhere to store them.
