Not a ton to look at with this gardening picture. With the new house being built next door, new lot markers were put in, and I've gotten a better feel for where the back corner of our yard is. MORE SPACE TO FILL!! No longer will that all be weeds back there... I put in a very simple, narrow new bed just by making several passes up and down a stretch parallel to the southern most veggie bed, turning the soil over repeatedly. After that I planted five new 'Jewel' black raspberries, and at one end, a 'Blanca' white currant.
Each plant got a healthy dose of compost added to the hole, plus I scattered some myco packs from Raintree Nursery in there as well. Leaves went on after, and that was it. I figure I'll get out there again soon, pull most of the leaves back a bit, mulch with a layer of newspaper or cardboard, and then pile the leaves back on.
