~Progress Update~

So the garden projects are moving forward!  The shed is painted Herbal Garden green with white trim.  It took me a day to be sure about it but now I’m happy with my decision.  We still have to build the planter boxes and attach them so the pictures will come when that is all done. 

Tonight we are tilling our garden spot and flowerbeds.  We ended up buying some sheep manure to work into it because the thought of travelling for 45 minutes with horse manure in the back of the SUV didn’t really do much for me…can’t imagine why!

We got some sand for Ethan’s sand box last weekend when we visited our friends in Teepee Creek.  For now we have it in his sandbox but he is gradually just dumping it on the lawn so I have a feeling that we will just be making him an area of the yard that will be his sandbox.  Then he’ll have a little pool to play in this summer! 

So far the raspberries are taking.  I think I may have lost one or two but time will tell if the roots are taking.  We’ve had to water them every day because it’s been so dry here so hopefully they are getting enough!

We also got our potatoes planted last weekend at my friends’ house in Teepee Creek.  We planted about a 5 Gallon pail of seedlings so we should have a bumper crop of spuds this summer!  I can’t wait to eat them!!!

Anyhow, no pictures today, we will be finishing things up in the next week then pictures will come!
