mist

We have had a steady 48 hours of light rain and drizzle. I know when the sun goes out later this week that the plants will be happy.

Carolina beat Louisville to move onto the Final Four next weekend. Go Heels!

dirt

The dirt is wet now. After rain last night and drizzle today, the dirt in the garden is saturated. This morning I went down with to survey and and the plants were standing tall. I guess they were thirsty and delighted to see the rain.

One subject I have not spoken about here about here is basketball. Tonight the Carolina Tar Heels play Louisville Cardinals in East Regional Final game. Go Heels!

frosty

Well one of the basil plants fell victim to Jack Frost. That sounded like a Ronald Reagen opener. I think he almost always made statements like "Well the KGB is one of the top three groups for the part in "Westside Story"

Deer

Rain

Today the rest of the cabbage, broccoli, spring onions and herbs were planted. Then it rained.
While I was out walking through the garden I noticed that a friend dropped by again last night...deer!

I just took the picture of the calf when I found this photo on the phone. I was sitting in the doctors office. This was before the surgery. Note C6 and C7...enjoy

Calf

I just gave this little guy milk from a bottle about 15 minutes ago.
Sorry the quality is not that great. It was taken with my 1.? something pixel phone.
Also we were in a barn.

Bird

I watch this Blue Heron almost every evening.Some Mallard ducks will stop sometimes. I have yet to see a Canuck Goose here. I don’t really like them anyway.

Plants

Water

Well we had a couple of thunderstorms roll in last night with rain. I have yet to get seeds or plants in the ground. I am waiting until tomorrow when my Dad and Alvin are going to come over for an assessment of the garden.

Supplies

I went to Southern States today to buy some vegetable and flower seeds. I also picked up some tools of mass farming! I will provide the plot once I have figured out what I am doing...that sounds so funny.

and more fun with a tractor. No that is not me driving

And in the beginning there was dirt

New Part of Me

Today I venture into a new aspect of country living. I moved away from the city in August of 2007.
I am living in a farming community now with all of the sight and smells of the country. Today the Farmer plowed part of my 2 acres for my garden. The size is 50 x 102ft.

The only gardening experience that I had was a patio garden with herbs and one green pepper plant. Does the size of my garden make me a farmer now? If so then woohoo!!!
