Gardening season is definitely here....
and my sewing room sits idle and neglected!
Lately I am outside from sun-up to sun-down.
Beside the fact that we have planted grass in a ten foot wide strip around the entire indoor arena,
(not to mention a 200 by 5 foot swath covering the trench that carries water to said arena)
I have also been building a rock garden.
Last week it looked like this:
Today it looks like this:
I have been hauling tractor loads of soil,
tractor loads of compost,
truck loads of screened topsoil,
more compost,
perennial flowers,
and finally tanbark mulch.
Then there's the garden, where weeding and watering have taken priority.
Not to mention the greenhouse where countless seedlings sit helpless and dependent upon
daily watering.
Yesterday I weeded and mulched the asparagus patch.
Look what I found...
a month early.
Needless to say, we had fresh asparagus for dinner.
Yum...nothing better!
Miss Minerva is quite pleased with the progress in the gardens.
Me?
Well, I am just dog tired!
Feel free to stop by the farm for the visit.
I can't guarantee that I won't put you to work, however!!
PS...a big thank you to Manny Bee (Amanda) for taking today's photos.

Spring is always a busy time of year and just a wonderful time to be outdoors. I'm working on enlarging the chicken and duck run; leveling it, digging a pond for the ducks and then enclosing it. LOTS of work but the end result will be awesome which makes it totally worth it!
Your garden looks great!
Dogs know when to rest!!!!
: ) Everything looks great!!!!
