Garden Plans

I ordered the raised garden for next year.  Probably the biggest home project hubby and I will ever do.  It's 12'x8' with a gate and a little fence (hopefully high enough to keep Duke out).  We mapped out the area and ordered it.  

Have to level and prep the ground.  

Seal all the cedar wood.

Assemble.

Fill with soil.

Modify and run sprinklers throughout. 

HUGE for us!  Remember the LFL -- YEARS, literal YEARS to paint and it's still not setup in the ground yet.  Maybe we should have a contest to see which gets finished first.  (My bet is the LFL ... but who knows!)

Can we do it?  Will we do it?  (Or will we hire out ...) 

After the house painting, I moved some of the porch planters to the side yard where the garden will stand.  Fingers crossed we get some veggies.  I was able to pick more kale and add it to dinner last night -- oh, and one more radish!

This area gets full sun until
about 4 o'clock -- that's the sun line.
Half the garden will be more sun.
Perfect balance and earlier sun is
better in GA.

Gardening today.  I need to fertilize veggies and plant a few more flowers from the farm program.

I'm very excited to have a full garden next year.  

Today is another HOME day with the dogs.  Oh, and I got my period yesterday.  5 days after the last one stopped.  Fun times.  It's very lite so who knows what this means for any kind of prediction for the next one.  Every time I wonder ... is this the last?  Sucker bet.

Couple more dog pictures.  This is the 6 lb live bomb that keeps me tethered to the house. 

We watched Air last night -- good movie.  It was date night interrupted 7 zillion times, but we made it.  I finished all the library reads and have moved on to my personal stack.  

Excellent book.

Started this big boy.
Oprah says it's the best book
she's EVER READ ...
hence the hardback purchase.

Have a good Sunday.  Later gators.
