We enjoyed a beautiful weekend! We were motivated to get a lot done in with the garden. As i mentioned in an earlier <a href="http://anothernewseason.com/?p=40">post </a>we decided to plant 3 raised beds for <a href="http://www.squarefootgardening.com/index.php/About-Square-Foot-Gardening/">squarefoot gardening</a>. We had set up our first bed with a mixture of compost manure and soil from the existing garden. For the other beds we decided to follow the "rules" and do a mixture of 1/3 compost 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 vermiculite. Let me tell you I got a great workout mixing this up with the rake!

(don't let this picture fool you, I did my share of work too. Although I would have loved to just spend the day running around with the camera!

Here is how it looks when we got everything set up. I definatly think that the correct mixture of compost, peat moss and vermiculite will make a difference! We also set up a trellis for our green beans and sugar snap peas.
