This morning was the perfect time (for me) to get my vegetable garden weeded, aerated and prepped for the upcoming growing season. Needless to say, there were tons of weeds that grew over the winter. I always found it best to remove them after a rainy day. It's easier to pull up the weeds then because the ground is wet and loose. So, it rained last night and here I am this afternoon. Weeding and raking and hubby will lay down a bed of organic horse manure as I prepare to plant my veggie seeds in around two more weeks or so. I'm not going to start the seedlings in my house again this year. I skipped that step last year also and it worked out just fine. Anything I can do to alleviate excessive work, I am all for it!
Our peach tree is blossoming so that means we will again have lots of peaches this year. Last year we had around fifty BUT the squirrels and birds got to them before I could. This year I bought fruit tree netting and I will be covering our tree by next week so that the vermin can't get to the peach tree this year. Fingers crossed that it works. I also put in a black wrought iron bench (I got it for free from a neighbor) so that I have a place to sit down in between weddings and caring for my garden. I do get more tired because of the cancer meds I'm taking, so any help is welcome.

Looks good, Cindy. Hubby is getting plants today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. I still have cherry tomatoes left over in my freezer from last summer. LOL! So, I won't be planting those again. Nobody liked them. Oh well.
DeleteI've been working on our gardens as well. There is always so much to do.
