How Time Flies
Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 by Julie O'Keefe
How times flies! It seems like yesterday that I wrote how much I like spring
and yet, here is summer! David and I have been very busy.
We spent a weekend building our garden box...
and even more time filling it. We began to start our seeds, in wonderful
starter kits, the week after Easter and were hoping to get things in the garden.
Yet time goes quickly. Loads of compost and black dirt later.... we were finally
able to plant. Spinach, beans, peas, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, and lettuce,
oh my! So now our garden is full and soon we will be delighting in our home
grown veggies.
In addition to the work in our garden we have been working on the landscaping
in our yard. This is our first chance to really get to work on our general lawn
conditions and to get to the specifics of our sprinkler system, the scale on our
trees, the rocks around the house and of course trying to decide on those
perennials we still need to plant around the house. Fertilizing, weed killing,
and trying to get our lawn green are new to us and are often trial and error for
us. Hopefully we will be getting it right sooner rather than later though! |
