Day 355
April 19, 2011
My pea starts are in the ground and the trellis is hung. I sprinkled crushed egg shells all around the perimeter of the pea garden so the slugs won’t eat them before I get a chance to. All those plants (33) are soaking in the sun right now.
The peas are just getting started, and the tomatoes will be planted in the six square bricks (the bricks will be buried half-way, with the tomato roots beneath the bottom of the brick)
Here’s what my future asparagus patch looks like:
As the roots grow Ill fill in the holes with more compost, until the plant reaches ground level.
Future asparagus plants...pounds and pounds of one of my favorite vegetables!

And we finally finished our landscaping—thanks to Howard’s fabulous vision and careful guidance! 18 months and lots of sore muscles later, we’re DONE! Check out the photos that I added on to the post in February.
