Garden Prep Done

Way behind schedule this year, but got the raised garden boxes tilled, chopped down dead plants and a few overgrown mixed greens. Ready to plant next week.

We're doing a few things different this year:

1. Lakeside Garden Boxes - no squash, cukes, or other gourds will be in the Upper Garden Boxes this year. We're going to give it a rest this year and plant these in the boxes down by the lake (which haven't had gourds in two years) to try to combat the vine borers that destroy our crop each year.
2. We're planting a LOT more carrots this year - they were great last year, all 6 of them ;-).
3. We're planting a lot more mixed greens this year - I also have a bunch in my office in a planter. Need to eat more leafy stuff.
4. Tomatoes and tomatillos are getting moved down to the lake as well. We're going to replace that area with some herbs and more mixed greens. We had 0 tomatoes last year, and only a handful of tomatillos. I don't know what we did wrong last year.
5. Corn - we definitely are going to plant pink corn again this year. It actually doesn't taste bad, but my 1st Grade teacher mom and the kids really liked it.
