The Adventures of Don and Corrine

After a fun year last year, where we grew Tomatoes and Green Peppers, we have decided this year that we want to expand our garden.  We want to grow, bean, peas, squash, zucchini  and maybe even some spinach.  I have also been talking to Paul and he and Melissa, would like to grow some veggies to, and I think Rob and Annie, also would like to grow some food.  So with that in mind, and the fact that we are currently using have of the space that we dug up last year for our tree nursery.  I spent some time last night tilling the land.  (I felt like a farmer )  So here is the expanded garden after a few passes last night, I definately need to make a few more passes, to break down the soil more, and a few more times, to add in the peat moss, and maybe some compost, but we are well on the way to have a big garden.

The picture on the left is the one of the space we tilled for last year, after I tilled last night, the picture on the right, is how much new area I tilled last night.  So we are more then doubling the garden space.  Now we just need to figure out how we are going to keep away the dear..

Paul and I have been working on a tiller that Paul’s father-in-law is letting us use. He hadn’t used it in like 7 years so paul and I have been working on it. Well we finally got it working today, over lunch, here is a picture of the success.

Its been a busy couple of months. Life is great. We are working around the house, we’ve been doing some landscaping. Lots ‘o mulch. We planted a few little trees. Lillac to be exact. Planted a small garden in the back yard. Actually it’s just tomatoes and peas, and supposedly peppers but we are still looking for those. My buddy Paul, has lent us a tiller, so we can make a bigger garden back behind the pool, but we have to get the tiller working first. And then there’s the pool, we are in the process of opening that up, it takes a little work. If you’ve never had a pool you might not know, but it is.

Any way. And then besides that I have been working on some websites for a few people, and that has definately kept me a bit busy. My most recent site is listed over on the right side of this blog, but incase you can’t find it, it is http://friendsoftimderickson.com Tim is running for re-election of Hanover Township Trustee, so we decided to put a site up to help him communicate with those in the area about him, and what he stands for. So go check it out.
