May Day!

Most of the work of planting is done and pictures are soon to follow, but here are the basics:

The beds were finished at the end of March and the soil and compost arrived from Soilutions the day after, thirty-eight cubic meters (some of which is still sitting in the driveway under tarps).  Planting began the first week of April and continued through the month. (s) indicates that seeds were sown directly into the garden. Everything else is from bedding plants.

There is still a bit of bed left, shady spots behind the onions (maybe perfect for more lettuces) and a very sunny (as of yet) spot in front of the corn (which I'm eyeing for a big zucchini patch and/or cucumbers).
