Yesterday I planted the pea plants I started indoors a few weeks ago. And I finally got the potatoes in the ground, too. AND I sprinkled a lot of lettuce, carrot, spinach, & chard seed on top of a wide row I hilled up. It was supposed to rain today (and has) so I didn't even bother covering them. I figure they'll get washed down into the soil and start that way. The ground was really still too wet to till, but we did it anyway, so it was really clumpy. When it's dry enough, it's like potting soil after we till it, but it hasn't been dry in two months now.
I've also planted new this year a couple of rose bushes. One shrub rose beside where we park the cars and a climber by the house.
After I was done putting the vegetables in, I pounded some t posts into the ground and strung multiple rows of ribbon around the planted plot. It makes an effective deer fence. I think the ribbon bouncing in the breeze freaks out the deer or something. Or they think its a trap. It worked like a charm 2 years ago, though, so I plan on doing this every year we have a garden.
Anyway, it was nice to feel dirt between my toes again!
