Not My Job

"I'm not really a career person. I'm a gardener, basically."-- George Harrison

Weather.com tells me that the temperature is going to 55. That makes having to drive into Philly, climbing to the ninth floor of 411 N. Broad St and working on servers a real chore. I mean I have sprouts!

Compost needs to be turned, the pea trellis needs to be erected, and based on the videos I watched on the PBS's Victory Garden website, I wanna double dig. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/victorygarden/video/video_04.html

I have a willow tree directly in front of my Garden Beds. The rumor is that the roots of that tree are at least as big as the tree itself, and shallow. I am trying some raised beds closest to the tree. However, behind that I wanna double dig the soil to make sure I have a good base for the tomatoes that will go there. Also I had tomatoes is that same spot last year so enriching the soil should prevent heirloom diseases.

After I double dig, I wanna take this pile of wood and create beds, and build a pea trellis. After pictures to follow.
