New bed

I dug out a new 2x3 foot plot.

In the process, I uncovered 2 tasty potatoes!! It's fun discovering food while planting other food :)

First, I turned the soil with my shovel, added about 3-4 shovels full of compost, and mixed it in.

Then, I thoroughly watered the plot before adding about 6 more shovels of compost. 

Next, I sprinkled seeds all over the plot.

A variety of beans, heirloom corn, lemon cucumber, butternut squash, purple basil, and cilantro to attract pollinators.

Then, I lightly water the seeds before tipping with more compost and watering one last time.

Topping the bed with straw hella retain moisture.
