Hay

Posted: November 6th, 2004 by Lisa

We’ve been going around and around trying to figure out where the best place to store hay will be. We keep saying “the barn” except we don’t have a barn. The sheds are going up behind the house, and there’s no good access there yet. We’ve got enough pallets to put it on, extra, actually.

Ambitious New Bed

Posted: April 18th, 2004 by Lisa

Frank still thinks I’m nuts, but I worked my tail off today putting in that new bed where the lilacs I planted aren’t going to make it. I think it is probably twenty feet long, and it entailed much digging up of sod and dirt, hauling of much crap, and generally hard, physical labor. I

Taking a break

Posted: August 16th, 2003 by Lisa

Whew, it’s hot out there. I am not, however, complaining. We’ve had so much rain (almost 8 inches so far this month alone) that I haven’t been able to really do much in the garden, so I’ll take hot over hot and raining any day. We went out into the garden pretty early this morning,

A break in the rain

Posted: August 4th, 2003 by Lisa

We had heavy, heavy rain most of the day today. I remain quite surprised at how well all the flowers are holding up, because the rain has been so hard that I expect to look out and see all the flower stalks lying on the ground, but so far, so good. The hollyhocks are blooming

Considering Compost

Posted: July 9th, 2003 by Frank

I got out after work tonight and turned compost piles. It was way too hot over the weekend to do then. I moved the last of the stuff from the old middle bin over to top up the new bin I turned ten days ago. It looks like we’ll have two full bins ready to

Busy, beautiful Saturday

Posted: June 28th, 2003 by Lisa

We got a lot done today. Frank’s big to-do item was to turn the compost. The far right bin of the old set (right near the house) is our finished stuff, and has collapsed down to less than half a bin. It’s too late to spread that stuff now, so he was hoping that the

Chip, Chippery Day

Posted: May 25th, 2003 by Lisa

Despite the gray and wet day out there today, it wasn’t actually raining for the first time in days, so we were determined to get in as much work in the garden as we could. We’ve been wanting to get started on the clearing and such for the land that will someday be the
