The potato bed now has three bags of composted manure dug into it and the leek, sugar snap, bok choy bed has one and one more coming.\u00a0 Kate has weeded several beds including the herb spiral and the sun trap.\u00a0 It all looks better with the weeds gone.\u00a0 I found the seeds purchased Friday, so I’ll be able to plant them after lunch and the nap.<\/p>\n
