Vegetable Garden is Starting to Grow

Vegetable Plot

The potatoes, peas, carrots, radish, broccoli, parsnips, beets, rutabagas, kale, spanish, peppers, eggplant, cilantro and basil have all sprouted now!

The Lawn is Sown

We finished spreading the compost on the lawn area. This was then raked level and rolled with a water filled roller we rented from Ace Hardware. We then spread the grass seed. It is a Scott's sun and shade mix seed. I bought this seed about a year ago so i hope it is still good. After the seed was put on we raked it in to the top 1/2 inch and then spread some peat moss over the top. It was then re rolled.

Lawn seeded

We got a Rainbird portable impact sprinkler. It has proven to make the watering very easy as it can almost cover the entire lawn from one location.
