Time to post an update.

 Time seems to fly by and I forget to post a blog. Not that there is a lot to write about.

I have been working in my garden and have added several wooden boxes 2 foot square and a foot tall which allow me to add more dirt as my soil is not that deep. In fact, most of the soil in my garden was hauled in 50 years ago when we moved here and over time has lost some of it’s bulk.

I planted peppers, lettuce, radishes and onions in the big raised bed (ate the first radish today). In the wooden boxes I have pickles, zucchini and yellow squash. The wicking tubs have 3 kinds of tomatoes in them. I also planted 3 blue berry plants in wicking tubs so will see how they do. Other neighbors have planted blue berries and they have done well.

The potatoes have been “hilled” once and will need a second “hilling” soon. The last asparagus plant just came up so all ten I planted have survived. Considering how they looked when I planted them, I am surprised all survived.

What else is new….. We bricked in the parkway between us and the neighbors so no more dirt there. It is cement brick which matches the other side of the neighbors driveway. It looks nice.

I bought 1 foot square paver’s to install in front of my shed behind the garage in place of the pea gravel which has been there for years. Craig dug out the pea gravel and I laid the paver’s this week. I still need three of them cut in half to finish the job.

One thing about Googles Blogger, which is what I use for these posts is that you have little control over spacing and text size. I select the text I want to use but it has other ideas.
