So this weekend was real gardening. I say "real" gardening because it was a full afternoon of sweating and back-tiring work! However, I must admit that it was a beautiful day. I think we were close to 70 degrees and clear blue sky. Just gorgeous! Today Bill and I put out landscaping fabric, blocks to level the planter on, and mulch on top of that. Now it's funny. That doesn't sound like that much work...ha...ha...ha! It turned out great though.

(Now you know I included the picture with China just because she's so pretty)!

As you can see though, we have a ways to go. I still want to put up window boxes for some of the herbs, plus I have a couple of square planters to add to our little 10 x 10 plot. It looks a little shady now but, believe me, it gets lots of sun in the morning and early afternoon.

Next weekend we'll take a trip to get the right kind of soil for these planters. I'm looking forward to visiting a store called Worm's Way. Never been there but I think it's going to be great. Will keep you posted on that.

Now - gotta run
pizza's here
Though it's been a lotta fun!
My arms are tired and so's my back
and I think I'm having a hunger attack!
Looking good Lisa! Here's a question because I am dense about this stuff...Are you planting now? I would be afraid of the cold. Here is my winter gardening plan: whatever lives...I plant more of the next year. Survival of the fittest :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way...Keep the China pics coming!
ReplyDeleteLisa, Bill;
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, I can't wait to see the goodies later this year. I think that China might do some snacking on them.....better watch out.....
Hi Lisa ~ I'm lovin' your blog and pictures. Can't wait until I can visit again and see your *bounty* in person. Here in MI - our temps are @ 14-20*. Definitely not warm enough for gardening yet. Love ya - Sherry
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to hear that it was almost 70. It hasn't been above 30 here in about two weeks and I've gotten three feet of snow in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteI did buy a snowblower though, that helps a ton.
