So I have been really wanting cucumbers for the garden ever since the neighbor’s cat ate my seedlings. Yesterday, Jillian an I ventured over to Wal-mart where they had a 6 pack of plants for a $1.00, granted they were a little yellow but heck for $1.00 I couldn’t pass them up.

The Garden…
This past weekend I worked in the garden, I have been slacking in the weeding and degrassing department. I picked more beans and the peas are now coming in which makes Jillian very happy. We have tomatoes… finally! I have at least 10 and a ton more flowers, now if they would just turn red … Continue reading
Update on The Garden…
Well I have been concentrating on my new love, metalsmithing. My garden still is chugging along despite the moles and the neighbor’s cat eating the tomato flowers and the tomatoes. After a physical breakdown last week, of what the hell was eating my garden that I worked so hard on and how could I prevent … Continue reading

I also planted 4 cherry tomato plants (I think they are cherry tomato plants) that I grew from seeds. I only took a picture of the tomato bed, Jillian … Continue reading

Reworking the Garden Plan…
So after spending the off season planning my raised bed garden I have decided to throw that idea away and start over. I decided to just dig up the backyard and plant the stuff directly in the ground opposed to doing raised beds. For the record it is just weeds there anyways, so it isn’t … Continue reading
The Garden
Well yesterday was the prefect day to clean the backyard and start building beds. My backyard is 27 1/2′ wide (from house to the back fence). I plan on only using a little less than 1/2 the yard for my garden this year, which will be comprised of 10 beds (11 including my daughter’s bed). … Continue reading
Pinwheels…
My daughter loves pinwheels, we have several around the house and yard. Since I believe spring has finally arrived, I thought today would be a prefect day to make pinwheels. Not just any pinwheels but St. Patrick’s Day pinwheels that any leprechaun would be lucky to own. What you will need to get started:1 piece … Continue reading
