Canadian Peat Moss and You

Just in case anyone was wondering, Canadian Peat Moss smells like crap. And when I say “crap” I don’t mean ‘bad’, or ‘not pleasant’, or ‘like dirt’.

I mean it smells like someone dropped a load in my garden. Now I expect this from most compost. But wow. I think we might pay a little extra and get two smaller bags instead of the one big one, since they’re from different companies.

Since we only used about 2/3 of the bag we’ve got to get back in it too, after it’s been in a bin, under the beds, in the sun for a week and change too. Not looking forward to it. WELCOME TO GARDENING!

 

Herb Garden

Last weekend Daniel and I found our new favorite place, Summerwinds Nursery. We purchased several herbs and got the supplies for our raised bed.  We are planning on heading back next weekend to get the plants to start our vegetable garden.  I planted garlic chives, onion chives, flat leaf parsley, sweet basil, lemon balm, and lavendar.  Here is our herb garden after I finished planting everything:
