I have just planted my garden. Now if I can keep the dog and the 5 year old from killing it. The dog likes to dig in the new dirt it is soft and warm so she thinks that it is her new bed. Then today Logan looked at the plants and figured they...

Dig a Hole, Fill It Up
Planted the lilac bush and the peach tree today. I don’t want to overstate things, but at least with concrete you can use a sledgehammer. The clay in west side of the Salt Lake valley is horrible. So it takes forever to dig the hole and then you just turn around and fill the...
Salsa Patch
This year all I plan on planting is a Salsa Patch. I have made grow boxes that I have filled with “Mels Mix” and only planting things that go in salsa, habaneros, jalapeño roma tomatoes onions and garlic. It should be an interesting experiment. I am going to start adding pictures to the blog,...
Started My Plants
I started my plants in the incubator tonight. I have planted a bundle of Roma tomatoes, Habbies (Habeneros), and Japlenos. I also started quite a few basil and thyme plants. The other project that I am in the middle of is my grow boxes. I built 3 8X4X.5 foot boxes for my pepper and...
First Red Tomatoes
Well they had blossom end rot and looked like crap, but they were red and inedible. More should be on the way. Which is better than last year. Lots of green one on the roma, blossoms on the cherry, and nothing on the brandywine. R 85/72

Tired
Yesterday was exhausting. I woke up early so that I could put on 2,4,D, onto the lawn. I got the front lawn done and was going to do the back but figured with the temperature hitting 80 it would be a bad idea. I was right we spent all day in the back. The...
Hardening The Plants
Today I put the plants out to harden them so that we can plant them on Saturday (hopefully. I also turned on the sprinklers for the lawn. Every once and awhile I have a job with a home improvement company. They have a small network and need help with it on occasion. I have...
WOW That Was Fast
I was talking with Christy today about the seeds that I planted before I left, and she told me that all of them had sprouted and that some were already hitting the cover. I did not expect that until I had gotten home. I hope that this does not make them to stringy and...
Indecision
Man I hate it!! I spent all last week planning my trip to Home Depot. I was going to pick up my lumber for the remainder of the fence, the downstairs bathroom, and the garden boxes. When I get there, and start to wiffle, yes that is waffle with an “i”. Just call me...
