The Farm – we are finally out in the gardens♡

We spent 3 full days out in the gardens and yard. Our typical spring work to clean up after a long snowy winter.

We got both huge piles of compost tractored out to the garden beds. One of the piles was aged much longer then the other but both really amazing additions to the beds

While my farm boy was playing with the tractor and poop…. I was in the greenhouse chill’in or warm’in or getting my chicken on

I was able to top up all my tomato plants, repot the peppers, flowers and winter squashes.

It was cold the first two days then yesterday was actually nice still cool but much nicer. The only problem was that it went down to -6 sat night and even though I covered the most tender seedlings with grow cloth… I lost a couple of trays of nasturtium, marigold and zinnias. 😦

I planted a new tray of nasturtium but will plant some more but I had to finish replanting….. so Monday’s plan is seed planting day in the afternoon. Last night it got down to -4, so I was up early to see after having all the tender seedlings covered up last night… everything made it:) yeah!

So the beds git a light tilling but because the soil was still a bit too wet, John will be back this week to give it the final till…it should be alot lighter and softer to plant in.

So after farm boy was done with the compost he worked on the large rock pile out back…..the are that used to have a big compost pile is now a new staging area for the old foundation stones from our house. He has taken a big bite out of one area and it is really nice to see it getting tidied up.

So what we are doing is sorting out the stones and as we get a good pile going we will start put the stones jn place for landscaping around the house and property in general. There will probably be stones left over and we will probably start selling them off

It’s strange…. daisy lost her garden partner in crime last year when barney had a heart attack and died. We then lost our best friend 💔 Murdoch, daisy use to follow him around the garden and lay around in the grass with him.

Daisy has now started to follow us around the yard no matter where we go….usually rolling around and walking in front, on top, between our legs and even just jumping up on us. I guess you can call her my little kitty dog♡.

Well I hope that spring is finding you well get out in sun and enjoy that warmth. Take a moment to appreciate what God has created and the beauty of the seasons.

God bless y’all.
