BEFORE
AFTER
Only a couple hours work. We raked, then weeded and marked out paths. My Mom had her pad and pen and wrote down what we planted where. Dad and I planted seeds and seedlings. We did our best to leave enough room for the warmer weather crops, like beans and tomatoes, and to plan for crop rotation. Dad put row cover over the newly transplanted lettuce seedlings to protect them a bit from drying out. Last, we watered all the new transplants from a gallon jug - rain is expected in a couple days.
Now we will wait and see what grows.

Its always nice to see a fresh slate.
You are a good daughter Kathy. I miss helping my Dad with his garden now that he is gone. Great looking space. Congratulations!
Please stay safe up there..
My, your sunny break has given you great gardening vigour! Lovely to share with your parents too. I went to the Lottie today and dug Potato trenches, transplanted some self-seeded Hollyhocks, mint and calendulas to new positions. After the hale and storms of yesterday the calm afternoon was so nice, it was good to get outside.

Best of luck to you and your family this garden year! Looking forward to gardening with my sister this season--the first time since we were girls.
