Getting Ready

Since I started some seeds yesterday, I figured I'd better get busy making sure there was somewhere to put them in a few weeks. Luckily, the weather was agreeable - sunny, breezy 70's.
Getting ready was a three part process.
1) Pull out any weeds
2) Dump in some old manure mix and trowel in
3) Cover with wet newspaper so no weeds grow back
This is another place container gardening comes in handy. It only took about 30 minutes to get my fallow containers prepped.
The container above is a former animal water tank. Luckily for me, it sprang a leak, and a farmer gave it to me for free. :) The green on the back right is spinach and a cauliflower. Looks like I'll need to repair my 'trellis' in the back before the next batch of sugar snaps goes in.
