Thank you so much! And yea, I love having the kids helping out and playing in the garden, our new puppy, Poppy (Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix 💙), loves helping by taking clumps of dirt away when we're digging around trying to weed the rest of the plot! Kind of how Cora does with you lol.
I will definitely be taking note of that intercropping method, and try it out next year! Less weeds are always a plus, and that sounds like an awesome, all-natural, method!
I can't wait to see how this year turns out, and honestly, we have been having a lot of fun already! But I'm sure I'll have more than a few annoyances, one being I may have to transplant some lettuce starts, because A LOT of those seeds germinated fairly close to each other (we've had a lot of heavy rains the past few weeks). Which isn't necessarily a problem, I just want them all to thrive as much as possible! So maybe I can put a few around the cauliflower I have planted now! :)
I can't wait to see more updates on your garden too! Our potatoes have already grown tremendously since last week, so I personally can't wait to see more on how yours are doing, and maybe I can learn a few more things along the way!!
