Garden Gold

There's an old shed on our farm that we store a hay wagon under.  The goats like to hang out there sometimes.  And where there are goat there is goat manure.  I have never cleaned out the shed so I thought this would be easy to get to and put on the garden.
 I had 3 big tubs filled in no time.
 Next came spreading in in rows in the garden.
 Look how fast it worked.  Just kidding, that's some volunteer lettuce that I had to work around.
 We've planted broccoli, lettuce, spinach, onions and cabbage so far.  I am not looking forward to all of the weeding to come.
And I'm finally getting enough asparagus to make a good helping.

  1. Our asparagus has been stingy so far this year.

  4. We love to use "Goat Gold" in our garden as well! Unfortunately, we live at 7500ft and it will be at least 3 more weeks before I can plant the majority of my garden. Now you've given me gardener's envy. HaHa!
