Starting the garden off right

With a ton of organic matter - leaves from last Fall, rabbit manure, and lots of chicken manure. And then stir with your favorite digging fork.

Our fingers are crossed for a small but bountiful garden at our new place this year. We are going to grow leafy greens and other crops that can take a bit of shade as we have a forest surrounding us. Will be a good experiment - potentially a tasty one. Also a big part of the garden this year will be to grow treats for the chickens, rabbits and turkeys that are coming in a couple of months. More on that soon!

Enjoy the warming days, especially in this El Nino year, and the growing light - 2 minutes more each day!
