Spring's Garden

Getting so excited about spring, I am starting to plan out the garden.

The raised bed is 3/4 finished now. We did 2 ties high, 2 across and 4 deep. The soil here is just sand, so we were doing a lot of composting during the winter.

This included hay, coffee grounds, chicken bedding, horse manure, vegetable clippings, and some leaf matter. We would let the chickens out periodically to "free range" and to help mix it all up.

Looking forward to planting. We are going to start the plants inside as seeds because of our short growing season in New Mexico. If you plant outside, you start about the end of April because of our cold nights. Hopefully I will start seeds around the middle of march or so.
