garden day

Garden Day was a big success. We got the raised beds in and surrounded them with mulch. We used cardboard under the mulch to prevent weeds. After some time the cardboard will decompose and just become part of the soil. I like that sustainable idea. With a freeze expected, we didn't plant anything except pumpkin seeds. For the pumpkin bed, we added the compost created by the pumpkins from pumpkin exploration in the fall. When we pulled the compost out of the spinning composter, we found some seeds sprouting and some worms had found their way into the composter. Surprise. It was a wonderful day.
