Start of the 2011 Vegetable Garden Season

This afternoon I planted peas, onion sets, shallots, cauliflower plants and broccoli plants.

In the fall I had gathered the neighbor's leaves and covered the vegetable garden with them. Today I raked the leaves aside and dug to prep the soil. It was very wet and easy to turn. There were TONS of prize winning worms too! I just planted my stuff and covered everything back up with the leaves. The bottom layer of the leaves had broken down and has made a nice compost for the garden. Looking forward to things popping up!

I'm behind in my tomato and pepper seed starting. I'll be working on that this week too.
