We have filled all 12 of the 4 x 8 foot raised beds with soil. We did this by hand as Im currently waiting for my new tractor to arrive.

We still need to add the black Kow and Peat moss, bone meal, 10-10-10 and perlite (waiting for the shipment of perlite) So we started adding the rock around the beds.


My OCD makes me want to level all the beds to the same height but the uneven ground is making it challenging.  Finer rock and then wood chips will rest on top of this first rock small layer. Cant wait until all the trip hazards are made level.

We had a freeze warning last night and another tonight so Im not too late to transplant yet up here in zone 3b.

That is quite an accomplishment! Keep us updated as you plant them out.
