Garden Updates & more Do-It-Yourself

This garden is doing well in spite of my attempts to help it along

Peas, green beans & cucumbers

Cantaloupe that needs weeded desperately!
Fresh Rabbit poo to keep the Fat Wabbit Diner
CLOSED!
As I said before rabbit poo has very little smell...
until your 100lb dog rolls in it,
let me amend that...the 100lb Wet dog
then sneaks back and just lays in it.

Then he becomes Mr. Fix it's Damn Dog!


Cucumbers that are taking over


My sad tomatoes & peppers.
I think I had the paper mulch to close to the plant
since I pulled it back they are starting to take off

We should have a good haul of tomatoes
while were gone to Poland!
On the backside of the Cantaloupe are onion sets
hiding in the weeds
they're shy


And because we can't leave well enough alone
Mr Fix it added a curb thingie to the patio.
Now hes talking about taking it out as
the mix had so much gravel in it &
not as much powder as he wanted

Nice form yes?
The concrete form!
Now what were you thinking!

Oh, and be sure you check out Tatersmama, shes taken care of Ozzie land
by taking out punks one at a time!
I'm not joking!


PM Up Date.....
*** after looking at those photos I was a tad bit shamed by the weeds, went and took care of a bunch of them. Happy to say the maters are looking much better, have about 10 little maters started and nearly 50 cucumbers...I stopped counting!***

Hit the Wall on the Wall

Then---------->

I’m beginning to think building the wall for this patio is never going to end! I belive the wall is shrinking or, someone is removing rocks when were not looking!

I had to pull up some photos of what it did look like. Hard to see but, if you look at the trim under the window of the house, you can see how high it has had to come up.

We added a little over a foot today & The yard art pile is shrinking. Our oldest daughter Danielle came and gave Larry & I some major help. Excuse me, I for got Isaiah. At least it wasn’t as hot, mid 70’s and overcast. If I had the energy I would tap dance. Only one more row on the base wall, and then the upper knee wall,finish filling in and steps…..then we get to start on the floor. Boy will it be worth it! No knitting for me today, my fingers are to stiff.

Erika’s boyfriend Chris was coming over to help again but, while practicing his domestic abilities (he was washing dishes), sliced his hand at the base of his thumb on a glass. Now he can’t move his thumb. They spent the day in 2 Er’s. First one said it was beyond them and sent him to Jewish hospital in Louisville. For now he’s in a temporary cast & has surgery in the morning to try and find and then reattach the tendon. Looks like it slipped up into his wrist. We were teasing him and said he could have found a better way to tell us he didn’t want to haul rocks. And, obviously he needs more practice washing dishes! Have to find humor in the bad stuff!
