Work day at the garden

Saturday, June 27th we hard a garden workday/celebrate my birthday party, starting at 9am, ending 9pm.  It was a long, fun day.  We worked hard and played hard!  Started with the compost in the morning and ended with a cookout and jam session later on.  We got another quarter of newspaper laid down in the wheel garden and a few layers of manure, peat moss, and straw.  Now we have the north, east, and south directions laid out and a little bit of the west.  I can get some more plants out of the greenhouse and in the ground as soon as I have time to plant them.    We harvested our first garlic and holy basil and made lovely pesto out of it.  Yummy!
