Susan - gotta love sheet mulching for saving the back - we've done double-dug gardens in the past, and I am just getting too old to do that anymore, and based on the sheet-mulched gardens I've toured, I don't think double-digging gives a better result. You guys can grow watermelon? I've tried eggplant, sweet peppers, watermelon and cantaloupe once since we've moved to the Pacific NW, and they took SO much babying to get any fruit! I think we'll go for low-effort and be content with lots of beans, summer squash and tomatoes in late summer. :) I do love fresh eggplant, though...

We're just beginning to work on our garden this week: sheet mulching. We won't begin to plant until after Memorial Day. This year it will simply be a summer crop of green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and watermelon. Next year we'll do a spring crop, too, which will include peas, radishes, broccoli, and lettuces. What fun! We’re just beginning to work on our garden this week: sheet mulching.

This is the first year that my 4-year-old is completely obsessing over the garden. He planted indoor starts for oregano, basil, dahlias, and forget-me-knots. We've got peas in the beds and are anxiously awaiting the time to sow beets, carrots, green beans, and squash. I Great post.

But, here is our plan: we have a wooden playhouse in the backyard that we will build nesting boxes in and attach a chicken run on to (simple wood frame w/ chicken wire attached). If you have not already, go to www.backyardchickens.com Also, our feedstore in Hillsboro (where we're getting our chicks and supplies) has a couple of backyard chicken coops/runs for sale- but they are quite spendy. I also know someone who is turning a little outdoor shed into a coop by, again, putting nesting boxes inside, then they are going to attach a run on to it as well. Good luck -it's so fun!

If so, what plans did you use? We've been scouring Craigslist for used ones, but they are scooped up before we manage to get any, so, Casey is is thinking of building one - but supplies aren't cheap! Enjoy those sweet little chicks! Tracy,
