Our Raised Beds Have Finally Arrived.

 I am so thrilled that the new raised beds have been built today and filled with some really good soil.  This soil is so rich it should be good without additions for about 2 years.  Sounds wonderful.

The bed in the foreground is mine, the one with the tomato cages laying on top.  The beds are 12 inches deep, 4 feet wide by 8 feet long which I love.  The soil is so rich and dark.  I cannot wait to start transplanting tomorrow morning.  My energy is down a bit right now and I do not want to transplant them late and water them is since they will not have a chance to dry off.  The wetness can bring fungus.  One should water early in the day if needed, not late.

I put my seedlings outdoors on a bench under the canopy so if it rains tonite they will be safe.  I had watered them this morning.  The temps today are only around 60*F and will drop into the 50s tonite. Its quite cool after a few days of 90* temps.  Back to normal.  Besides, the plants need a bit more hardening off so they will be safe.

The rest of my seed order for greens came today from Johnny's Seeds so I am a happy camper.  Home Depot emailed me that my bamboo stakes are on the way and should be here by the 15th.  I do not need them right now so everything is going according to plan.

Happy gardening everyone.
