Green thumb?

After a long back breaking weekend, we have a fully planted garden. It was good for me I am sure, since my muscles were so sore I could barely walk the following Monday... We put in all the absolute necessities; peas, carrots, beans, potatoes, onions, beats, lettuce, leeks, spinach, tomatoes, hot peppers, and strawberries. I started with a trip to Holes Greenhouse and Canadian Tire, and with seeds, potting soil, and tools in hand I was ready to start. Feeling like a rookie, I brought Lois' book outside with me to reference if necessary. I created stakes from the branches of the fallen fruit tree that lie in the back corner of the yard, and tied string between them to ensure I ended up with straight rows. Once everything was in the soil, I marked the rows with my new favorite rock markers. We have had two days of pouring rain, so with a little sun we should have sprouting veggie plants soon.
