It's all in the Soil

Having top dressed all of the prepared beds in the vegetable garden, I set to yesterday and went over all of them with the rotorvator. This of course turned up more stones but, after stone-picking and raking, the beds looked good with a nice tilth on the top.

So the first crop has been planted. A dozen lettuces we bought at the market on Saturday have gone in to the first bed, and we will watch with interest to see if we are actually just feeding the wildlife!
