Today was the divvying up of the allotments at the barnyard
garden. We all picked numbers to decide
which plot we would end up with. I actually
picked 3 times, the first 2 times I picked the shadiest spots (and are actually
plots that may not even be used, no one is in them right now) and then I ended
up with the number 3 plot. It is against
the fence and is 19x10, of which I am going to be using a 2” path through the center
and a 1’ path only on the one side. I want
to maximize the space I am using. The soil
is a medium to heavier loam. My plot is
a little sticky but it has been rototilled and it was a mass of thick grass
before, so it should decompose over the summer and loosen up.
Today I staked out my path and placed a couple of 9’ TV antenna
sections on the 2 front corners of my plot.
This is to mark the boundary as well as a trellis for my Capucijner
Peas. I planted 7 seeds around each
trellis. I am hoping that they will
climb up the antennas, but if they for whatever reason do not germinate I will
plant beans instead.
