The Garden Has Been Started

I spent 2 hours over at the Community Garden this morning cleaning things up and starting the spading. The plots are in pretty good shape this year; the soil was not compacted very much this past winter. I was able to get the large open plot totally turned over this morning. I will be trying to get the other one done tomorrow. The water was not turned on in the Gardens, because it is still possible to get a very hard frost, which could freeze the pipes. Also for this reason it is still too early to start putting a lot of plants and seeds into the ground; it still another month before I can start looking at my tomato plants.
