Our day started at 7 am this morning. We were out of the house by 745 with a stop at Ingles to grab stuff to make lunch. It was a great morning to be at the cabin. The air was still a bit cool, the sun was shinning, the wind was blowing and the truck was loaded down-well kinda. We worked all day. That's right we did not finish until 4 pm. Karmin and I were rewarded for our hard work with a mini Blizzard. It hit the spot.

| This is what we started with. |
I tilled part of the front garden. I did say front garden. We have two and for that I must be crazy. The front garden is where I plan to have most of the fruit growing. I am still waiting on a couple of my fruit plants. Today two blueberry bushes went in, one dewberry bush and one muscadine plant. I am not sure the muscadine is going to make it. It looks kinda week. All were watered and fertilized.

Thank goodness my tiller is light. I would never get this done with a regular one.

 |
| Poor little musadine. You can hardly see it. |
 |
| This is the dewberry bush. |
Last are the two blueberry bushes.
 |
| Karmin picked out this one. |
 |
| My sweet Lanie gave me this one. |
While I was busy in the garden Karmin and her friend, Lanae, were busy making a flower garden of their own. I forgot to tell you that we could hear Lowes calling us yesterday. With a ten dollar off coupon and a 10% military discount how could we resist? We did not even try. So Karmin picked out herself some flowers.
Karmin and Lanae did the entire flower garden by themselves.

| Working hard. |
I think the flowers are just beautiful! They did a great job.
While they worked on the flower bed I planted five more rows of veggies in the back garden. Do you know just how time carrot seeds are? Well I do. They are very tiny. The spinach seeds were bigger then I thought they would be. I also put in some green peas, cow peas, sweet beans. They are all from seeds and may never grow. I am just making this stuff up as I go along. Yes, my mom and dad had a garden. I was only big enough to pull the weeds.
 |
| Well it looks good. |
The girls did a few other things too. They were nice and fixed my lunch. They also stained some wood for the chicken coop. Oh, and they cleaned out more chicken poop!!
 |
| This was our new friend that we met today. |
 |
| This is what we ended with today. We worked really hard. |
 |
| We knew it would be a good day when we found three four leaf clovers. |
Looks like you had a productive day; just in time for tonight's rain! Tell Karmin to come on over and work in my yard anytime!
ReplyDeleteThe rain was our inspiration for today. Karmin is a good helper.
