Spring Gardening


Gardening has been going well. I've managed to get seeds to sprout in containers this year, which I've had trouble with in the past.  The main thing has been consistent watering.  Over the years the soil has improved from solid clay.  I've turned most of the beds and added more compost so there is room to plant the seedlings. For watering I have planted most things close together, near fruit trees.  Close together with companion planting. The fruit trees keep the hottest part of the day less extreme for the garden. 
The first picture is of cantaloupe sprouts.  The second picture if mostly of corn. There are some strawberries, beans, and Swiss chard pictured too.
Here is a video of planting some of the corn.
