Well, I certainly got my exercise today! I had the perfect day for it. I went back out to take the fabric shade off the top of the garden and hauled it to the burn barrel. I cut it into thirds, put one section in the burn barrel and put the other two sections beside the burn barrel. Then I took down the old neon colored tape, which was really faded and brittle, and replaced it with new. I spread cedar chips under all the new planters.

This is a pretty awful photo, but I wanted to show you the garden with the shade fabric off and the new tape on.

This is taken from the north side so that you can see the new spring planters and the fall garden planters behind them.

This is taken from the south so you can see the abundance of ‘leaves of the garden…

And this is the broccoli.

No sign of anything but leaves on the cauliflower so far…

I’ll try to plant radishes tomorrow and get a pic of the sweet, little bitty celery plant that is still with us.

Hope your day was wonderful.
