After our last post we made our way back outside and worked on the watering system. We laid out all the pots we have and found an even better way to fit all 50 of them in the greenhouse without tripping over anything. We have also pretty much decided that we will hold...
We’ve got a rain delay
We did make some progress today but had a pretty massive thunderstorm roll in that is causing us a delay. We started working our way from the barn to the greenhouse with the watering system connections. We had to remove the temporary faucet we put on the water...
A watering system weekend…and more
This weekend we will be finishing the setup of the watering system in the greenhouse and into the raised beds. We will be going out of town on Thursday and not return until Sunday so we absolutely have to have the drip system set up by then or the plants are...

It's Thursday again and I have once again dutifully compiled a collection of searches that led to this blog in the last week. We had a few fun ones this time around like the German tractors. I actually had to do a bit of research on that one 🙂 German makes of...

Create your own beverage garden
We have lots of space for herbs in our garden and several herbs are already thriving there. Our lavender bushes have come back nicely and even the small one I moved is starting to show some signs of life. The bay leaves we transplanted are also doing very well and we...
