Compost and Planting

We had a busy morning:

  1. We emptied the compost and fertilized one half of a backyard vegetable bed in preparation for some planting (more on that below).
  2. The "juice" from the compost went to the blueberries that are looking quite sad.
  3. The blueberries also got some E.B. Stone organics Cottonseed Meal fertilizer,  at about 3/4 of a cup per plant. After that we added a layer of pit moth.
  4. In the back of the 2nd backyard vegetable bed, we planted the following:
    • 1 1/2 rows of green bush beans (front)
    • 1 1/2 rows of purple bush beans (back)
  5. In the corner of the front yard vegetable bed that is further from the house, we planted the following:
    • 1 row of mixed green and red Shiso (closer to the garage)
    • 1 row of basil Greek Yevani 
    • 1 row of cilantro/coriander (further from garage)
  6. After the planting, we mulched (happy frog) and watered.
