Also in a small spot behind the shed we have planted 2 hills of Blacktail Mountain Watermelon and Parmex Baby Ball Carrots in an old compost pile. 


It feels good to have both main gardens planted and done with. Now comes the mulching, watering, weeding and fertilizing.

 Now I can move on to the pepper and herbs I am tucking into my flower beds and finishing up planting my flowers.
