I waited a day later to post my last entry so I could take a picture of the Broom shrub. I went out that day to water the tomatoes, bell peppers, blueberries and everything else that needed watering, and I put my arm down on the top of the deck rail. When I moved to water something else I noticed that area was burning.....I looked and I had picked up a boat load of splinters...well maybe not a boat load but a lot. Thankfully, later on, my new favorite daughter Cori...ha... picked them out for me.
This past weekend the project was building a raised planting bed. Hubby got to use his new drills again (Jack they're Makita's). So now we have more vegetables growing. More bell peppers, squash, zucchini, cucumber, onions, parsley, purple brussel sprouts, eggplant, watermelon, cantaloupe and strawberries. I may have left something out, but that is all I could think of off the top of my head. I think I will get a couple of jalepeno plants. We got the broom shrub planted and he bought two dwarf azaleas. Maybe that is all for now...
Take care,
Sheila
Those splinters sound worse then the tiny cactus thorns I had recently. You are going to have lots of nice things to eat from your garden soon.
ReplyDeleteOUCH splinters are terrible, to be sure. Your garden sounds amazing. LOVE that eggplant. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou are really making a nice garden. I want a tomato plant so much but the squirrels have won every year so don't think I will try. I hate splinters. Especially small ones. Good to hear from you again and thanks for the well wishes. Slowing down, but this time of year it is hard.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started building, I thought a saw was a saw and a drill was a drill, until one day my BIL talked me into springing for a Makita Saw. That is when I learned that all tools are not made the same.
ReplyDeleteI know he enjoys using the Makita. It does irritate me that we (The USA) allowed the foreign tools to out do us!!!
Anyway two splinters are a boat load!!!! Hope you get bunches of stuff from the raised garden.
Your raised garden plants interesting. I bet you will get a "boatload" of veggies from them. :) Take care, DD
