Our Garden

We finally broke ground in the garden! Well, at least a little. We're putting down sheets of black plastic to make it easier to dig through the sod that's currently in place.. Well, I say sod, upon closer inspection, it looks like it's mostly rock, and the black plastic isn't going to do anything about that, but it will make getting rid of the grass that's growing around the rocks easier.

And don't think that just because I took this picture, I'm making Sam do all the work, I laid out all the plastic, and dug in the first three pieces. Sam's working on the last two. We'll leave these down until we get back from our Stateside Vacation in late April/early May, and then we'll move the plastic to make 5 more beds- those will stay under plastic until late May/early June, when we'll move them again.... etc etc until we either have enough garden space or we run out of growing season.
