Prepared the Beds

Saturday was sunny at last. It has been rainy and stormy for weeks, i just haven't been able to do hardly anything outside. It was nice to get some stuff done. The kids and I had dug out most all the weeds and they were pretty much dead so I just cultivated the soil and raked it smooth and got the grass stems and roots out. I also added sulfur with iron and other micronutrients to lower the pH, blood meal, kelp meal and cottonseed meal. There are a good number of worms, so hopefully.

The kids gardens are acting typical unfortunately. We added some organic fertilizer that we had- a starter mix with michorizae, but the seedlings have sprouted and then they just sit and don't grow. I think I'll add the sulfur mixture and some blood meal. Very frustrating.
