I ache............

Posted in gardening

I am sore.  And tierd. We did lots of work today. Cleaned up our large garden area, and roto-tilled it!  We also bought 6 concord grape plants, 3 Caco (Red table grapes), and 3 white table grape plants.  Also we planted 3 blackberry bushes. Tomorrow morning we plan on planting a bunch of seed. We will be planting. Cabbage, both green and red, broccoli, brussell sprouts, cauliflower, kalorabi, leeks, celery, peas (both chinese flat peas, and sugar peas for freezing!), beets, okra. I know I have forgotten something.....but next week we plan on planting our potatoes(We are in IDAHO), and onions, and corn. Then in May we will get our zucchini and other squash plants planted, and melons, also the tomatoes and peppers that we started inside planted. Our fruit trees that we planted last year are doing well. All are flowering I hope we get a bit from them this year! We have also been getting between 8-12 eggs a day now from our chickens!!! This has been so great! I hated feeding our chickens all winter with nothing!!!! Spring is here!!!!!!!!!!!
