Of course I voted yes.

Evening everyone.

We had a good time visiting with Lynn and Dakota Sat. but for some reason the trip wore me out and I didn't even drive!
I have been napping off and on all weekend but decided that I had better do a load or two of clothes to have for this week.

Shavon I am glad that Jordon is on the mend. Hospital stays are no fun when it is far away from home.

Teach they mentioned your Hooker on the weather tomight, said only 5% humidity there today. Dry heat and 40mph winds, suprised that ya'll just didn't burst into flames today.

Okay here are some pics of the garden from today, they aren't artistic in any fashion, just to show the garden itself.

These are the adzuki beans along the new "Tucker can't eat any more of my chickens fence"

Here is a close up of an adzuki plant, they are blooming. The info stated they like to grow in warm weather, but they look suspiciacly pea like to me, and seem to be growing better in the shaded areas.

This is what one of the chicken run/garden spots looks like after 3 wks of chicken occupation

This is what the new spot looks like when they first enter it.

this is the corn/lentil garden spot. Lentils will provide a living mulch and fix nitrogen.

This is where to two gardens meet, they will be surrounded by these tires, and in front of the tires will be the strawberry beds (planted here but not up yet) there will also be blueberry bushes, to shade the strawberries.

This is a view of both garden spots. In the closest one to the far left where the chickens are is the new spot they just entered today w/ lots o' fresh grass, the center is planted in cukes and hot peppers w/ a cut grass "blanket" mulch, and the far right is the run/garden they are just leaving. I will plant it out this week.

pear tree loaded w/ pears

Tomatoes, they are planted in the grass to help act as a green mulch, my FIL swears by it. Do you ever feel like your being watched?

Well that has been a little tour of the garden.

nice pics as always!


I hate this weather.....loosing animals...stupid heat

 

[nnbreeder]

Almost forgot to add that Lynn and Dakota were the first to see me without pushing the walker. Stupid thing just got in the way and I couldn't carry anything. Even though I appreciated the help from Teva and others it was time for it to go!! Regaining a little strength every day but I push hard to gain it too. At the end of the day I am usually wiped out.
