Community of Hope Neighborhood Garden II

This week we went out and amended our soil. We want the soil to be good and prepared to recieve our seeds. We added about 4 bags of mushroom compost and 1 bag of peat moss. Hopefully the peat moss will help the soil hold moisture. We mixed it in really good and hopefully we will be able to start planting in September! We may be adding some kind of mulch to the top as well in the mean time. That is just another way to help keep the moisture in. I am very excited, but also nervous! It will be nice to garden in temperatures less than high 90's too.

The hubby and I are participating in a community garden! We get to use the land behind a church that is located in our neighborhood. The group has built the frames for the raised beds and we have filled our plots!

Now it is time to get to planting. I think we are going to start looking at what is good to plant for fall in Oklahoma. There is a group here called the Tulsa Master Gardeners. Click HERE to see their list of what's good to plant for fall in this zone. There are a couple unexpected veggies on their list like tomatoes and peppers! Follow us and see if we can we can get anything to grow!
