Less Visits To The Nurseries (Part 2)

Soooo instead of wasting gas, time at the nurseries, etc. usually spending my time preparing these little things we call SEEDS beginning late summer to early fall collecting and waiting for the weather in the early spring to grow my own, some of us may not realize that maybe a few dollars you spend at the nursery is in the pod instead of a packet.

So give it your best shot and let me know if it works for you

Less Visits to the Nurseries

we all do this every year or i should say most of us do. Return for the same type of annual and spending when not really a need be thing. I was visiting the nurseries quite often until i found the annuals i do best with, even though i really like the yellow boys best. I havent tried yet but i know it is going to be turning cold very soon but just preparing for next year's season of growing and of course the easiest ever (Dwarf Marigolds).

Addition to The Portable Vegetable Garden

Gosh I need my eyes checked or they came out overnight but the Pepper plant is alive and well as i went out to the deck this morning found ONE pepper and as you can see (how could i have missed it) pretty large already.

Portable Vegetable Garden

Well this was something i decided would be the best way for our neck of the woods and a cheap way to develop our veggies. Maybe next year we will do like the old guy next door and put up an electric fence to keep the deer and other wildlife out of our buffet. And so farrrrr the veggies are doing great in our small garden. Pretty much experimental on the deck in VERY LARGE Flower pots , and with only 2 people living in this garden world, i think this will work quite nicely.

So far 10 tomatoes have sprouted on the one and only tomato plant, LOL!! and still waiting to see the results of the green peppers.

Remember Sometime In The Future

If you have seen some of the prior postings of my progress I will be finding some time to go one step further in developing what took me almost 20 years of my previous residence, but I guess that's why they say take one day at a time and it will all fall into place.

This is definitely a long process but it will be well appreciated when i can sit back and look at all that has transpired. Some people can do everything all at once but others take a little longer but OH WELL!! I am one of those that will be taking a little longer, hmmm!!

The concrete block walls sure don't do any justice for a backdrop on the flower beds. Hopefully a brick foundation look is in the future (no decisions made thus far).

I can't imagine any building here until bobcat and truckloads of sand, gravel, and more gravel were rolling in and out but the contractors were building faster than i could keep up with keeping the camera in hand, but it is all well worth the time and money to put it all together, only one small problem, (now I can't see the Alpaca farm) which is behind this mammoth pole building.

The septic system is working fine now as you may have seen in the previous posting an additional curtain drain was put in place for reasons of small backup at the divertor box, YUK!! I had my share of a sub pump and a concrete cover falling and splattering mud and whatever else you can imagine entering into a septic and out to the drain fields, something needed to be done.

Well Everyone that will be enjoying the long Memorial Day weekend I will be working to get your mail delivered in the snail way sooooo please enjoy and be safe!!
