Welcome to the family in the crochet corner

It has been very very buzy for us this weekend

I had an enjoyable day yesterday potted up different plantings.
We had a nice flow of customers in the afternoon.

And BBQ pork steak on the grill.

It has been a nice weekend

So, with the exception that my youngest sister is in the Hospital, she had been having pain in her mid back area. Dr had been treating her for kidney stones,but also told her if she didn't have any relief by Friday to go to the ER. They scanned her and found she has a large Blood Clot in her right lung.

This could have been fatal has it could have moved completely shutting down her lungs or moved to her heart.

They gave her a clot buster right away. She is on complete bed rest and is being given blood thinners. They will do more scans tomorrow to see if it is dissipating. She was so upset, of course we were also, but relieve that it was found before it killed her.

Now if she will just quit smoking, as the Dr ordered. But of Course she doesn't get to go out side. So this maybe a head start for her. She had to take her shower sitting in a shower chair.
She is more stir crazy now, than anything. She is only 37 years old. But a smoker and taking Birth control, that is a bad combination.

So Mom and I have been going to see her every evening and calling her too.

Well here are some photos I took this morning of our garden area.

DH's potatos are coming along very well

And the fence garden looks good

I planted up some gift baskets

And I have a family of shoes and boots planted up

And I have a hanging wall planter my MIL gave me planted up on our garden area back fence.

And I did add some bachelor buttons to my front fence area. So I had a full day yesterday.

I was very tired last night but it was a wonderful tired.

It is raining here today but as soon as it breaks I plan to go out and put some cardboard and newspaper down and then move 3 straw bales out of the duck shed for planting my asparagus beans in.

I will take photos.

Darlene, Happy Birthday!

I can't believe I almost missed it!! Too bad it rained most of the day, but I hope your day was wonderful.
Karan, your pics are great. I love the fence garden - can you give directions to make it? I really hope your sister gets better soon. That sounds so scary!
Ya'll have a great week, it's going to be another busy one here. Only 11 more days of school, and I've got to get next year's schedule done this week. Yuck. See ya'll later!!

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers for my Sister, so far she is doing ok, well for someone that can't get out of bed. ( it's making her crazy) She has tests tomorrow to see if the clots are dissipating.

To answer some of the questions:

AS for the fence garden: yes it is pretty easy. DH took 4in pvc used keyhole saw to cut a hole about 4 inches fronm the outside edge. This is to start the area at each end for the growing trough he used sawsal to cut it the rest of the way. Then there are drain holes at an angle from the bottom about every 4 -6 inches, and the end has drain fabric in it. I think DH did a fine job on it. He now has plans on improving on it.

Well I finally got a start on my straw bale gardening. It has been raining today but it broke about 4pm. So off to the duck shed I went with extra bailing twine in hand. Took 2 bales restrung them and got them wheel borrowed to the garden area. And here is how they came out.
1st I put down several layers of newspaper then the feed sacks. The bales and proceeded to make room for soil and Asparagus bean starts.

I started running twine from the bale to the lattice for the bean vines to grow to.

The flower pots are there to help keep the feed sacks from going anywhere. It is raining again now, so wet feed sacks don't go very far. Here is with all the twine done.


There are 10 bean plants per bale. I am please how it looks so far.

Well I am beat

So off to bed I go
