the start of the 2004 garden

I would have liked to start working on the garden a few weeks ago, but work and school commitments got in the way. I put down the first layer of manure and lime today and hopefully next saturday I can get a trailer load of aged manure from a lama ranch out in Sandy, OR so I can bring over the rototiller and turn the soil. This year in place of doing long rows, I'm going to try to block out the garden in 4'x4' patches with one long row of green beans growing along the right fence line so to not shade the rest of the garden.
