three beds = three sisters

spent a part of the afternoon installing a third four by eight foot raised bed along the back of the garden ( where i believe i have discovered additional parking ) to house the three sisters' guild we plan to begin planting later next month...i turned over the sod inside the bed and dumped a bit more than three hundred pounds of compost in there....mostly to hold the liner and block the sun from the uprooted sod so it expires and adds some organic matter to the bed...i also installed a worm tower and expanded the vent holes in the top to a quarter inch diameter to aerate the decomposing vegetable matter that will be going in there a bit better...that accomplished i watered the turnip bed and the black tip wheat to help germination along ( with water i hauled in...the tap proposed for the garden's hose is dry as a bone )...and it seems to be working...the robust garlic in the third photo has been joined by some turnip seedlings so the root crops are underway...there is more on the way as the planting season advances...there is good progress but still lots of work to be done...more as it comes up.
