I did get to start the next set of seeds on Monday. I started 4 different types of tomatoes, parsley, and echinacea.
In the meantime, I thought I'd share pictures of my pitiful garden.
This is 2/3 of the available garden space. This is what I will be planting this year. I really need to get down there and remove all the plastic and old carpeting!

| The plastic/carpet covering has been on for almost 11 months...much longer than needed! The garden never got planted last year! |
This is the other 1/3 of the available space. There were tomatoes between the posts for the past 3-4 years, so I'm going to pile on the llama manure this year and let the area lie dormant this year. If I manage to be successful with the other part, I'll add this part on next year.

| Lots of space to expand! |
And now for a bit of comedy...
This is the original compost pile that I built back in the fall. I figured it would be more than big enough.

| A little llama poop... |
This is what happened after 6 months...I wasn't able to pile the manure/bedding more than about 3' high, so I had to keep expanding horizontally. The pile is now at least 3x wider than the space that I set up! Luckily this can be fixed...once the pile thaws out we're going to get at it with the tractor and front-loader, and condense the pile. We'll also take out the oldest part of the pile to mix into the garden.

Next week I'll be planting more seeds indoors, and hopefully my tomato/parsley/echinacea seeds will have sprouted by then!
