We had some pretty heavy rain and hail this weekend. I think we may need to replant some of our garden, because the smaller seeds can wash down too deep into the Lasagna. We want to be sure we have plants growing, even if we end up having to pull or move some good plants later.
By the way I have started a new Facebook Community called Beyond Organic Nebraska. Come join the community and share any ideas or what you are doing to promote health-building foods.

That is all for now!

More planting.
Not much to report this week. Angie and the kids transplanted some rhubarb and strawberries into the garden, and I transplanted 4 of our Rose bushes (they were at our rental residence) to our flower garden(its not lasagna). I hope the roses are OK, they did not look very happy with me :). I also planted 3 heritage raspberry bushes. I love raspberries, so I hope they do well.

We started planting!
Saturday we started planting! Caleb and I got one last load of compost and after that we were ready to plant. It was super easy to plant in the soft layers. The lasagna gardening experience has been great so far.
Angie did some reading from Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew and mapped out our boxes for each group of plants. We uses the handle of the hoe to make a grid to space things accordingly. Here Hannah and Angie are planting peas.
It is very interesting to see what each plant seed looks like. Some, like carrot seeds are really tiny, others are bigger than you would expect. Here are our pea seeds.
Natalie is planting potatoes, we dug a hole clear down to the bottom, and dropped in the potato.
Levi was a big helper!
