Day 67...planting finally....

This post will be picture heavy so  be aware....

So since it is warm outside, cloudy today...I have always heard the veggies that grow under the ground should be planted before St Patrick `s Day, my grandma always stated it and she always unless the ground was covered with snow...planted those things, plus a few others...cold crops...

So first thing this morning , while drinking me a cup of coffee, looked at my designs , that I always use for the veggie beds....and I made a outline so I could take outside with me and go from....


 
So here they are...
 


                 Bed 1, the boards on the front of the bed will be where the potatoes will be planted

 
Bed 2
the boards are for the potato tower,
it was in this bed last year
 

 
Bed 3
 
 
Start of the potato towers, first I placed the boards, then I put some mulch down


                                             put the potatoes down in the mulch
                                right side is the Yukon gold, the left side red Pontiac

 
Then I covered the potatoes with some more mulch,
making sure the mulch is even with the boards
and the potatoes are covered

 
making a row for the onions, have I told you I love green onions
 

 
Bed 1 is planted other then the broccoli
 
                  
                                                           now working on bed 2

 
just planted some onions
the top of this bed is somewhat frozen in some places
 
 
Bed 3
I started planting in here as well
I planted some more green onions and radishes
spinach...
This year as you have noticed I labeled where I put everything at, instead of just having it mapped out
 
It was so nice to have my hands in the dirt, even though it was a little muddy...
 
cant wait until I can start seeing the fruits of my labor....
hopefully I wont have to replant everything...
 
I hope you all
ENJOY!
