We've got a garden!


Yes, we planted our first garden.  Our kind neighbors, Chuck and Nancy, have been a GREAT help.  They came down with the tractor and tilled up the ground for us and Nancy has been a wealth of information.  We planted garlic, 3 kinds of onions, asparagus, radishes, cucumbers and zucchini.  Haven't seen anything pop up yet, but it's only been a week.  I water it every day, if it hasn't rained.  Also looking for weeds, pulled one so far... LOL.  Pretty exciting stuff.

Chuck and his tractor tilling our garden!
Chuck tilled several times to
get it just the right depth.
Several rows and two mounds
at the far end.
From the other end.  Closest to you
are the cucumber and zucchini
mounds.

Garlic is at this end.  Used plastic forks to label
what is in each row.
 Chuck and Nancy left with the power pole that we used as our temporary service during construction.  When the electric company put up the new permanent service, they used a new pole too, so Chuck is going to make an "Amish Clothes Line" for Nancy.  She's so excited, you can hang up clothes and use the pulley system to move it for the next.  It goes from the laundry room out to the new pole.  Pretty cool stuff!!
Chuck pulling the pole to their house.


I'll post more later.  I have pictures of our Easter get-together, will put them up soon.
