Gold!

I recently discovered GOLD on our land. Okay, before you email to remind me what a close friend or relative you are to me....I'll let you in on my secret. Beneath all the trees on our land is a 3-4" layer of organic compost. That may mean nothing to you, but after finding the price of it at Wal-mart, it truly is like gold to me. I am adding several more raised beds to my garden, so I need a dump truck load of it. My compost pile isn't nearly as big as I'd like this year, so I am just giddy about finding it.

We seeded several vegetables and numerous flowers in anticipation of transplants later.
