It's in, it's done, they are planted, now the impatient girl must wait patiently...

 It is done and I am soooo happy.  I have vegetables planted.  The radishes and lettuce are already up.  Go ahead deer, just try and get my garden:)  I cannot thank my wonderful husband enough for such an amazing present.  Just so you know it was a complete surprise to me. 

We had three inches of rain and that brought to light where the drainage issues would be.  Hopefully the little retaining wall, patio slabs, and carefully shaped dirt work will alleviate the issue.  Another solution to the drainage problem was digging out tons of clay soil, replacing it with gravel, then a layer of topsoil.   Not the funnest part of the project.

I actually bought tomatoes.  A huge step for me.  I really want to make salsa.  Maybe even homemade spaghetti sauce.  We will see.  Kelly made me a nice shelf from scrap items around the shop.  It works perfectly.  My plants are so happy in there.  The shelf will be great for my tomatoes and peppers.  I put parsley, sage, basil and a marigold in the wash tub planter. 

Ella has been great and has not tried to go inside.  Please note there are two pine cones in the photo.  I was not keeping up with my real job, pine cone tosser. 

I just want to point out that while it did not get above 59 today, my 79 cent thermometer said the greenhouse was a balmy 80 inside.  Tomato gardening here I come.
