Side Garden

Just got done working at midnight. Wish I saw more daytime. There are already so many roses and flowers in the side garden. Wish it would just stay warmer for the tortoise.

Burn Baby Burn

(e:terry) has been busy pruning and we had so many dry butterfly bush clippings. I decided to just burn em up quick instead of clipping them into bags. Its amazing how fast they light up. I can see why scrub fires get so out of control in places like CA.

The Motherload and grace muscles

(e:terry) and I went to home depot to buy a ton of soil. We had to rent a truck. The manager heard how much soil we were buying and that we rented a truck so he offered us a ton of broken but more expensive organic dirt, soil, mulch, sand bags for free with the stipulation we had to load it ourselves and take it all of it. In the end we moved over 3000lbs of material with our "grace" muscles. Now we have to unload it at home.

Fire

We had a nice fire in the yard tonight to burn some of the pear tree scraps. It was so nice and warm in addition to bug free.

Building a food garden

We are building a food garden although it's a little late because of the weather. (e:matthew) and (e:terry) went to home depot last week but were too shy to ask to get the wood cut so I went to ask today. The Guy cutting the wood had a real hard time with measurements. e.g. "Can you cut this 12 foot board in half?" "Sure, you want two 8 foot sections then?" etc.

Buffalo Garden Walk 2010

We went with (e:Holly) and my mom to the garden walk. It was a great day as we started early and missed the rain.

This year we did the west side behind Kleinhans and near (e:metalpeter)'s. The community gardens were really inspirational. As was the massive amount of fruit and vegtable gardens.

One older woman had a giant fig tree. I think my mom was really jealous as it is her favorite fruit. We asked her about it and she said she overwintered by covering it in rugs.
