Well, after much other doing here on the land we have made a good start on the creation of the garden where we will grow many vegetables and fruits.  It began with some clearing of the area so that it would be open to receiving new seeds and plants having been only growing forest plants and trees.

This was the first clearing done of the area.

Eagle and Reikiom got busy with the soil, while I leveled (sort of) out a path into the garden area.  (Honestly, I DID do some of the doing, even though there is no evidence of it!)

Several trees had to be felled to allow enough sunlight onto the garden area so that the plants can grow with enough energy from the sun as well as from momma earth!  We used some of the trees to make a couple of terraces so that we could level the land for planting and to separate different plants onto different levels and areas.
The soil  is what we call “black gold” as it is so rich and fertile, never having been over used and only having had forest plants and trees growing there.  The trees give back a lot with their leaves creating the perfect compost and mulch.

Next, the fence went up to discourage animals from digging up what we plant there.

There will be an update here on the progress of the garden very soon – we planned to plant some seeds and some young plants today, but it rained much of the day, so hopefully tomorrow we will get to that.
