Wife and oldest daughter are both off work next week for school break.  We hope to get our beds up to snuff then too.  Been too windy, cold & wet so far. 

Wanted to work on getting the tiller & other equipment running today, but had to put it off.  Had the water pipe into the other house break about 2' outside the house where the copper transitioned to PVC.  Water company caught it when they read the meter and found we used 15,000 gallons more than usual.  $475 bucks later it's fixed along with a few other "need to's".  Good news is the water company will adjust the bill since I fixed it the day after they reported it to us.

Looks great!  It has rained so much here that the garden area is just mud.  Red clay mud!  I cant even get into mine to amend the soil much.  Gotta get ours cranking!

Your looks wonderful!

Water is the deal here too...small town..water is kinda expensive...I am gonna get a separate meter for outdoor water use...less than half the price of house water...they will turn it off in the winter  and back on in the spring no charge..

All 4 of my peppers took a long time to come up too..The package sez it does take a while when it is cool out...

Looks good Craig!  I'm anxious to get mine going, but I'm not 100% sure winter is over here.  Tomorrow (good friday) is usually the day I get potatoes in, but I'm thinking I'm going to hold off a while.

Is this actually possible?

Will have to wait till we get rid of the rest of this snow before I can get out in the garden. Last year I had it tilled and planted with the cool weather crops by this time. Like we say here.........If you don't like the weather..........Wait an Hour, It'll change!!

 

[kathrynn]

Oh Craig....I got a mental image! Lol

[dward51]

Ha ha ha.......

Now I don't feel so bad about those black socks & flippy flops.  Must be a retirement thing.

ps - Scary thing is I have a metal detector......
