To all those who have served and to those who are still serving—Thank You!
Oh, my—we for some strange reason decided to spend our Memorial Day working our tails off! The sun was sort of shining this morning and the garden had dried out a little overnight—so that was the first order of business. By the time Michael finished using our little Mantis tiller to break up the soil he could hardly lift his arms! I planted peas, beans, radishes, lettuce, carrots, chard and spinach. As we are kind of late getting anything into the ground this year—we will just have to wait and see what comes up.
Pulling weeds on the hillside above the garden was next on my agenda and Michael headed off to cut into firewood some of the logs we have, (yes, we may need some firewood if you believe the forecast). I don’t like to spray the weeds on that hillside as everything then washes down into the garden. Maybe one of these days the grass will overtake the weeds??
After lunch we decided to get both RV’s parked in their correct spots—it has been so wet around here turning the motorhome around and backing it into its spot was not a safe bet. Both rigs are now parked out behind the house along the creek.
I mowed the grass then came inside deciding it was time to vacuum and dust the furniture—what ever possessed me??? Michael started unloading some of the motorhome bays. Homemade pizza for dinner, three Advil and now we are both relaxing for a while!

I know the three Advil feeling...after yesterday, my back was cranky. You sure got a lot done in 12 hours! I have hope the Vinca will overtake the weeds down our side hill too, but the weeds are still winning! We have used the weed eater in the weedy spots once already this year, but I see they are reviving and we will have to weed whack them again and hope they stay gone until rain season in the Fall.

ReplyDeleteWell you may be late in your part of the country but my Dad never planted his garden before this weekend, well except for the lettuce which he planted in the fall. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteCrazy!! Take it easy, you'll wear out.
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of all those veggies...yum!! Hope they all come up for you.
sounds like the two of you had a very productive day! It sure is time to put those feet up and relax!
ReplyDeleteThat really was one busy day.
ReplyDeleteThat is waaay too much for one day. It is such a good feeling though to get all that accomplished.
ReplyDeleteSure didn't sound like much of a restful holiday. Homemade pizza and resting up sounded good though.
