Computer Shinanigans...


     

   Not really!  More like wear and tear and abuse... Yep! all me...

     I have been wanting to post... I, however, could not use my lap top until I received a new cord for it. The cord crapped out... Yep! You know, "ZZZittt... sparks, and then death to the cord..". So, I needed to let the computer sit until whalaaa... New cord, ready to be plugged in and charging... YYAY!


    Today was the first morning I really felt a nip in the air... It felt crisp, and cool, I even felt a chill enough to give me a shiver or two...  The weather is just superb!

    Tangent is getting along very well... I filled in the gaps, and I have sprouts already... Yea! The radish is beginning to sprout...  I know you can't see but they are sprouting really!



     I think I have some lettuce popping through, and


    My dearest husband, found me a new batch of carrots to plant!

One single sprout of carrots!

      Which the planting of them will happen this weekend for sure! I really want to have carrots...  and it did!

     I also filled in the beets, I have never tried to grow beets, I really have not a clue when they will be  ready to pull! But, I guess I will learn, Right!


     I planted strawberries and they love the spot! The area by the blackberry bush was quite bare so I thought what better place to put  the strawberries than under the blackberry bush, Now really? Is it a great space? I don't know! It just made since...



      I have found a great location for my grapes! There is a spot in front of the Arcadia door, it's right where I tried to grow Birdhouse Gourds...



     I think that it is a really great spot enough sun and shade and no grass to interfere... I hope to have it planted in the ground this weekend... I will be able to establish a trellis too...

     I am kind of sad though, we found some peach trees... But, one variety so far.. Flora-prince. Remember the idea I wanted to do?


     I wanted to plant three different ones in the same hole so I can have a continuous stream of  peaches until the end of June or July... Well, I don't think I will be able to accomplish that now, if I can't get those varieties at this time.. Unless I wait until spring... That just pushes it back even more to get peaches... and there is no guarantee that I will be able to get them, then either...

      But the GOOD news is I have a Peach Tree and it will be planted in the the spot where I planned in my front yard...





     My lime tree is acting up! I'm not sure why, so we decided to make a berm and  protect the trunk of it... Then have the water penetrate the drip line instead around the base of the trunk....




     The area we are trying to create is slowly coming along...


     We bought a fire pit... and consecrated it last night...
    

      The moon was almost full and the weather was ideal


Almost Full Moon!
