Spring Update on Tiered Garden

April 2012 we started working in the Gardens. We wanted to get some berries planted this spring so we started on the tiered garden space down in front of the big deck. We added top soil, peat moss and potting soil to the dirt we already had in there rotilling really good. We had some strawberries from last year and then we also added some new plants. We planted two blackberry bushes and two blueberry bushes down in the lowest area. We still need to get four red raspberry bushes to finish off that area. But it is looking good for this year. We also need to figure out how to fence around it to keep the deer and the rabbits away from the plants. The last picture shows it all done with the new grass coming in and the srtrawberries getting big.

Update on the front Flowerbeds

Remember this in May 2010:

 


In April 2012 the Middle School was having a fund raiser by delivering mulch. I figured I was going to get some anyway so I ordered it from one of the young men in our ward. After it was delivered it was supposed to rain over the weekend so we just went to it. trimming the bushes again, pulling weeds, planting a few new flowers. She even let me be in the picture... Looks like I have been working. Notice the Hydranges across the front finally bloomed this year and are even getting bigger now.

Organizing the 'Office' Closet

April 18, 2012 Our "Office" is in sore need of cleaning and organizing and I happened to mention that to my wife one night a while back, so the week I went to Woodbadge she got ambitious on her day off and pulled everything out of the closet in the morning and got two coats of white paint done by 5:00 in the afternoon. Then she went to Walmart and found white shelves that would fit in there under the shelf and came home and got those put together and put in the closet. You think she would stop and rest but no she just kept on going until all the boxes were gone through emptied and all was organized. If it only took one day why did we put it off for so long? Oh well, done and done, feels good!
