Day 15: Beds and Lettuce, Oh My!

I started clearing two spots for "Beds".

Bed #1:

In the back yard I have a pretty steep hill, I started clearing off a section of it so I can plant pumpkins and cantaloupes and hopefully watermelon when I get a plant.

As I mentioned in a previous post it can take me a few days to do something that would take a normal person a few hours.

Here are a few photos:

Partially cleared. I did find a snake hole. O.O. I am going to make it bigger but my hip was screaming.
As you can see it's partially cleared and not very big. I'll make it bigger, as I'm off work tomorrow. My hip started screaming at me so I wasn't able to do much.


Bed #2:

Right outside my door I have a LOT of monkey grass and around that monkey grass on the outside was a lot of leaves, when I racked those leaves out I noticed the dirt is dark and moist. I get half a days sun there so I'm going to clear it out all the way down for my lettuce, radishes and onions. :)

See how dark the soil is?

I just thought my shadow was funny here. haha
So I was able to do another small section here, I'll expand it tomorrow and get the plants in the ground.

And on to crop updates!

My tomato has a bud!

My tomato bud! So proud!
She's getting tall!

My Lettuce seeds are going crazy!

I'm not sure how MANY lettuce plants this is, but they sure are cute!

My mint seems to be sprouting new buds and my radishes are pretty much ready for the ground. The egg crate of seeds are also blooming like CRAZY.


There you have it. Pretty much I'm done gardening for the day except for my nightly water.
