Amending the Soil

 Today, I did the scary thing and I fertilized.  I took a disposable travel coffee cup and sprinkled lime everywhere and then, I did the same thing with my all-purpose fertilizer.  Now, I have it in my head that if I left it this way, I would be burning my plants and therefore, I proceeded to hose down all that I had done.  This way, the nutrients are on the ground and not on my lovely plants' leaves.

In the vegetable garden, however, I did the same but did not wet it down.  I then proceeded to add peat moss, composted manure, and top soil.  Lastly, I took the aerator and mixed it together.  After all of that, I only got to plant cucumbers.  Another day in the garden is a good day!
