I have been chastised for not posting very often so I am going to try to kick things up a bit. Its been slow going in the garden for a few months. Things have been ready for spring since Feb but we have been busy with other things. The weather has been so unpredictable as well that we decided to wait until we were sure warmer weather was here, good thing too because just two weeks ago we had a freeze, or a really close one. Anyway, seeds have been planted and things have been watered but we are having a bit of a puppy issue. Nora has decided that the empty space in the garden is a perfect spot for her toilet/playground. A fence will be erected this weekend to try to solve that problem. As you can see from the picture I was also able to cover one of the boxes that has lettuce, flowers and spinach planted there. It should also help the little hands that like the dirt to find other spots. We have really enjoyed the weather though and have spent a lot of time playing outside. It doesn't help us get much work done though. The pond is still sitting idle, waiting for Dave to finish lining it and installing the pump. I have deemed it a manly project and will patiently wait until he gets to it. Meanwhile, I'm trying to focus mostly on growing things. I have a few more areas to clear out and get ready for transplants and then I think we will have a finished plan. I would like to add a grapevine and a fruit tree this fall so I need to make a space for those. I also am working on figuring out a watering system for the front yard. This will expand the possibilities.
