Rocks!!

Over the last few days we've had great weather, so I've begun preparing the beds by using a process known as double digging. This is where you remove the layer of topsoil from a 1' x 4' section, loosen the subsoil, and then fill the trench with topsoil from the next section. Rinse and repeat. This is very slow, labor intensive work, mostly because like all New England soil, the ground here is chock full of rocks. I also have to break up clods of sod. So far I've finished my strawberry bed and planted it with the Northeaster strawberries I got from Burpee. Hopefully they'll have great fruits next year. Pictures coming soon.
