Grow Baby Grow...


Not bad for a few hours work...

Five-8' x 4' raised garden beds-ready for dirt and plants tomorrow.


Cherry and apple trees are doing remarkably well this year..bees did their job pollinating so fingers crossed we don't have any freak acts of nature that will diminish my harvest this year!!

Caught up in the moment....

Had a freak out moment over the past week or so....life beat the crap outta me in the octagon.
I'm better now, at least better than I was and getting back to damn near perfect!!

The depression from the stress and this awful medication means I haven't even started on my gardens. Shameful, I know. Thanks to a swift kick in the pants and a lot of prayer I'm back on my feet and WILL have the gardens finished by this weekend. Mikey has graciously offered to help, how much he's going to be able to do with his bad shoulder is questionable, but his offer to help is as much a catalyst as anything.

I've got Roma tomato seedlings, several variety of sweet peppers, spinach, broccoli, celery, basil, oregano, pinto and black beans, corn, lettuces, onion and sweet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes waiting to be planted. Late start be damned....I have faith (or delusions) that this year's harvest will out shine all the others!!!
