It took us a full days work, but we were able to remove what I figured was 100 sq feet of sod for the "garden" and another 40 sq feet for our tomato/pepper plot. Not bad at all! The boys jumped right in and got dirty and loved every minute of it!
We headed off to Home Depot pick up the manure (poop, as the boys like to call it), some seeds, now that we had lots of room to plant in! and a dog fence.
The dog!! oh my!! Iggy will be a challenge to keep out of our gardens, as he is a digger... so the dog fences, was a must! Well, there is nothing on the market directly meant to keep the dogs out... so we are trying Deer Fence, and we will see how that goes this year. Ideally we would fence off the area with a 6' chain link, but that is just not in the budget.
Seeds... wow!! we got tons, probably way to much, but we want to try it all! We would have been smarter to start this year with only a few items, but I figure, ahhhhhh, why not plant what we want and see if we can get anything to grow!
Manure.... Can you believe Calgary almost run out of poop! I was shocked, but Home Depot and Superstore city wide, was sold out... Calgarian, must love their poop! But we were able to get some "garden soil" and the much needed peat moss for up near the house. (the desert zone)
