What did you do in the garden today?

I am going to root some cuttings from my apple, pear, peach and hickory trees.

Have you rooted peaches before? I'd like to try it this year.

Huh. Well, good luck!

@chickadoodles Ace hardware had kiddie pools on sale, so I bought another one today, along with more potting soil. If I can find enough bags, maybe I can move all 8 tomato plants from the back beds. See what you started?!

I'm sorry. But just think you can use them all over again next year!

. Can you get bulk peat moss? The big bails 3 cubic feet will go a long way. Mix it with sand and yard dirt and if you like add some lime. It will be much less expensive. Also mix in some compost. Water your mix with some soapy water while still in the wheelbarrow. And remember this.....old tires are free.

If I find a larger property with more room, I'll definitely go the bulk-buying route!
