Front Yard Garden Progress

Otherwise known as "Why I Got Soil for My Birthday"

You know you're a garden geek when your birthday card promises TWO truckloads of soil for the front yard garden. Yes, I had to wait a while since the big day was in January--but it was worth it.

Our friend C unloads the first batch. Sometimes I really miss my truck.

Jackjack gives it the Boy Test, which it passes with flying colors.

What do cowboys do after unloading two loads of soil (and refusing any help)? Take a nap under a tree, of course.

And here's how it turned out. There's netting across the main section so Neighbor Kitty doesn't get any bright ideas. Pretty soon, the veggies will go in!

  1. Dirt makes the world go round my dear! And since it already smells from the compost? Neighbor Kitty is going to be hanging out -- A LOT! Now -- here's the plus of having a big pile of dirt: the cats don't dig up the garden beds. There's no reason! A big pile of dirt in the middle of the yard is the best garden defense I've come across when fighting cats who routinely dig up seeds and starter plants in raised beds.
