They've arrived! Now I've just got to raise the last $110 to get the soil delivered to fill them up.

It's coming from Boring Bark and is $310 delivered. This is raised bed soil - not topsoil. You can't fill a raised bed with topsoil.

Looking to beat the 300+ lbs of donated produce we did last year.

We can take donations via Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal. Thanks everyone!

Spent the last few days prepping the garden beds! Two more are expected tomorrow. Carrot seeds are already in and plants will be going in over the coming days. Just need more soil to fill in the existing beds (from settling) and then to fill up the two new ones. Currently at $210 of the $310 we need to raise for the soil delivery.

Yesterday was transplant day! Beans were all transplanted to larger containers.

Some of the seedlings apparently didn't get enough water the day before and were droopy, but they're all good now.

So many photos! We have spent the weekend getting our photo galleries updated. Now you can see the progress of last year's gardens, our rose garden, the bulb garden, and more! Plus we've got progress of the seedlings from when we planted seeds on the 18th through April 1. So much growth!

Seedling pics from April 1. The seeds I got 5 days ago are popping up, as are the eggplant and peppers. It's amazing that some of these seeds are from the 2016-18 grow years!
