I’ve been busily converting our garden into mainly raised garden beds for several weeks. I’ve been in the garden daily for several hours. Time flies by when I’m out there. I enjoy it immensely.
Earlier this week, I ordered more enriched topsoil, seven yards, delivered to our home. One yard weighs about 2200 pounds. I moved five tons (one ton is 2,000 pounds) of topsoil in a few hours and another ton the next day.
I’ve used most of the topsoil; I might have about 1.5 yards left. I’ll spread that out in the area since my daughter wants a swingset under the trees.
I’ve added pine bark mulch to all the raised garden beds, and now I’m adding it to my tomato plants.
It’s been a lot of work, and there’s still so much to do; however, I must say that I’m thrilled with how it’s starting to look.
The blueberry bushes are bearing fruit, and we’ve been staying on top of picking the fruit.
I was able to pick a small bowl full of blueberries yesterday evening.
Now, all we need is rain. We haven’t had adequate rain in almost a month. My daughter and I have been trying to stay on top by watering different parts of our garden daily. However, nothing beats good rain, and I’ll be happy when we finally receive it. Looking at the forecast, it’s a possibility of rain from Wednesday until Sunday.
