Finally made it to the plot!

The weather today was rather pleasant for the first time in a little while.  With a high of 63 today, I was able to get out to the plot for the first time in over a month.  I didn't get as much done as I would have liked (lots-o-newspaper in need of going down), but the boy and I were still quite productive. 

We made a trip to Home Depot and picked up a some bags of topsoil and LeafGro for one of the empty boxes at the plot and the elevated box I made last weekend.  Once that was done, we filled the one empty box, turned over the leaves that were in there from when I sunk the box, turned over a few other boxes to mix in the leaves that had been on top over the winter, and planted snow peas in three boxes.  Two of them are shown in the picture below (left). 

It was also quite nice to see that the "surprise onions" are doing quite well.  The picture (right) doesn't do them justice.

 
With forecasted temps in the 50's and 60's off and on over the next two weeks, hopefully, I can get some more boxes turned over and put the hose reel into the ground.
