We are up! Life is good! The garden awaits us! But Scout is still asleep and he is holding Lamby Pie, his little friend. Too cute! Scout is so gentle with his toys some of which he has had since he was six years old!
S-h-h-h-h-h, do NOT wake up Lamby Pie, she needs her beauty rest!
When people grow old together, they do everything together. As an example, here we are doing our pills! It looks like a pill snowstorm by the time we are done.
I will trade you two blues for a pink!
Time for foolishness to stop and work to begin! Mary hits the front yard planting several new flowers amongst the azaleas. While she was accomplishing that, I replaced the chair covers on the patio furniture in the front patio.
Dig dig dig dig dig!!! (Scout taught her how to do it!)
Notice Mary’s secret weapon; the auger!
Planting becomes a breeze with the power auger!
This is the last container to be planted and I dumped two bags of potting sil and a half-bag of peat moss into it mixing everything together well. Potatoes will be harvested here in about 90 to 120 days. When mature, the tops die off and we pull the mature potato and lay it on the top of the dirt to cure. Some varieties, like Yukon Gold, can be ready in as few as 75 days, while others like russet potatoes can take up to 135 days.
The potato bed is ready! The soil is as rich as it gets!
The potatoes ought to be fine just behind the grape arbor. This year, I plan to keepo the grapes trimmed and not let the vines get long.
The grapes grow larger every day.
Snuggled dow in their munch, this will be a bed of watermelons and cantelopes in a few months.
Must have flowers in the garden!
At the end of the day, we crashed!!!
