a bed in the park .. the last layer before planting ..

here's our bed in the park .. it looks pretty bare at the moment .. but not for long .. this is the big planting weekend/week coming up ..

frank went down the other day with two wheelbarrows full of compost from our yard .. he laid the compost on top of the existing leaves and seaweed that have been decomposing for the last few months, and then dug everything under .. now the bed is ready to accept our tomato plants .. we have 'polish paste' we grew from seed, two 'early girls' and three 'san marzana' plants that we bought at local garden sales, and five mystery tomatoes we acquired earlier in the year .. along with these, we'll plant basil and marigolds as companion plants ..

and then we watch .. and see what happens .. in no time at all this bed will be full to overflowing ..
