Too Much Compost


You've probably heard me whine about my lack of sun often enough. 

Last year we put a raised bed of strawberries in the front/side yard. This year the city dropped off a little too much (waayyyy too much) compost, so we dumped some of it next to the raised bed. I was thinking of my poor ignored tomato plants. 

First I planted a few next to the asparagus. I had squash go great-guns there last year. 

Then I raked the dirt over and planted in it. Notice the car wheels and basketball hoop right next to it. Hmm, maybe I should rethink this. 

Too late now. 

This week: plants look good and straight. I think they've grown an inch or two. I haven't lost any of them. I moved the basketball net to the other side of the driveway, and Dean plants..I mean parks...there so I'm not worried about careless little feet getting out of cars. 

Time will tell. Perhaps I'll take over that entire side of the yard. Bwahhahahaha.
