			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past week or so I&#8217;ve been busy prepping our vegetable garden. I&#8217;m using the area on the south side of my house which meant I needed to transplant some shrubs first. After I got the shrubs transplanted, I tilled the previous side garden bed and some of the yard. I ended up with a plot about 30 feet by 12 feet.</p>
<p>I was able to get out Tuesday this week and get some of the weeds raked out that were left over after tilling. I spread 20 bags of topsoil and tilled that under before it rained Thursday night. We got a good soaking rain last night and some more tonight hopefully. I do want to test the soil in another few days once the ground begins to dry up a bit.</p>
<p>Since its still too early for most plants, I have some peat pots inside to get things started in. In a few weeks I should be able to get things moved outside to my cold frames for another few weeks before its warm enough to transplant. I&#8217;m still in the planning stages of what&#8217;s going to go where and I need to finish soon since there are a few cold weather crops that I can get planted soon.</p>
<p>I also built a compost bin out of some old scrap wood. I&#8217;ll post more on that later as well as some photos of the garden.</p>
