Thursday (that was supposed to be.... oh heck - it's Thursday already!)

Am DETERMINED to figure out what the problem is re pix on this blog!  That being said.....

GARDEN

  • DONE Break open bags of manure - half around the rhubarb I moved (which will hopefully survive - though it may not!).  The other half divided between 2 rows of raspberries
  • DONE The other bag - half to the grapevines I move (and hope survive!) and the other half to the blackberries (also moved!)
  • DONE Till up the Green Bean bed.  Also till (if possible) the Squash bed. AND along the herb/veggie garden pathway.
  • DONE Pull dirt up from the pathways onto the "beds"
  • NOT ON A HOT BET FOR TODAY.  TOMORROW maybe IF possible - move some of herbs (I'm thinking mint here! - chocolate mint in particular) into round "bins" without bottoms or tops - to somewhat contain these little things!  Re-design herb garden.
  • Consider possible herb garden between some of the trees.  Maybe.  Also - MAYBE - flower garden there too.  Need landscaping fabric BADLY!
  • Make list of what still needed (posts - and how many.  Additional fencing - or heavy duty wire like for grapes, blackberries)
  • DONE AND FROM HERE ON OUT IT IS DANDELION FLOWERS (FOR WINE) Dig Dandelion greens

HOUSE

    • Declutter.
    • Figure out WHERE gardening items will go - and put them there.  Designated places.  Potting table???
