View Article  The Homefront Garden May 05

I can finally say I am done with my spring gardening at home and abroad for this year. The manure has been spread, the soil has been turned, the seeds have all been sown and the plants have been planted. Now add some water and sun and presto. I took a bunch of pictures for a time stamp and I want to add more as the season moves forward. Victoria picked all the flowers this year so it looks like a strong pink, purple petunia theme. Should be interesting with the red cedar mulch. Special thanks goes out to Scott and Bryan for helping with the driveway sealant. The kids and I gave the big turtle a coat of paint. Now he just needs a name. What do you think?

 Victoria is still working on the little hippo.

I put up a rabbit fence around the veggies out back. Last night there was a bugs bunny convention just outside the fence but no bunnies had tickets. Security showed up and scared them all away.  Bottom line, the pepper plants live to see another day safe behind the walls of the vegetable garden Alamo.

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden. ~Thomas Jefferson~

 

View Article  A Salad Foundation -Vegetable Garden at Scott's-May 24, 2005

My Brothers and I planted a huge Vegetable garden (Huge to me anyways) this Victoria Day Weekend at Scott's house in Peterpatch. Complete with a Chickenwire fence (rows 1 through 9) and a Bean/cucumber trellis (row #6). We got to meet Scott's neighbor who has 50 head of beef cows. He gave us a huge load of cow poop for free. Scott and Lisa rented a roto-tiller and we added some ash, peatmoss and a bag concentrated 7-14-7 as well. The first row of peppers has a black weed barrier as a test. Below is a layout and a legend of how we set it up. Row Number 8 is all herbs Should be lots of stuff to freeze and can in the fall. Good Family Fun was had by all. And a special thanks to Lisa for the yummy dinners and for Keeping an eye on the kids.
