singing in the rain........

well.......it was supposed to be cold and rainy all weekend but it hadn't started raining when it got light enough to go out this morning. i layered on a few sweat shirts and got the rest of my troughs filled......finally! this is the dirt with the mushroom compost mixed in.....sure makes a difference.

i just top dressed the bone meal instead of mixing the whole trough to the bottom. i wanted to keep most of the compost near the top half.

here's the finished dirt.........looks really nice. i finished up in the cold rain....a mixed blessing...it washed the pollen down some....everything here has been covered in pollen this week....and i did get the base dirt shoveled in before it got too wet.

i'm itching to start planting...i've got my seeds but want to pick up some plants at my local (thirty miles away!) farmers supply. it's one of those great "old timey" type farmers supply that you can find anything from tools to canning supplies....definitely not your big box store.

now......if i could just find my almanac........
