Well, well, well...

Finally a day off from my 2 full time jobs!!!

So, glory be... I'll try to move a few things today before the rain that have been begging to be be moved and maybe plant an umbrella pine that we bought at a great wholesale nursery outside of Richmond called Acer Acres... BTW, Acer Acres is growing over a 100 cultivars of Japanese maples... 3 gallon plants are $30 wholesale for any of them... They also sell the unbrella pines for $35 in 3 gallon pots... They are in the 3-4 foot range... Love them...

Also maybe get in some mulch refreshing...

We have decided that seein' as the P-Vine is earning money at the plant center that we're going to use a bunch of it to enclose our main garden which is roughly 450 feet long and 100 feet deep into the woods... Yeah, I know it will be a major project but when one lives adjacent to the largest game refuge on the east coast (The Shenandoah Nation Forest) there really isn't any other choice... We have used every product and trick in the book but the deer are the enemy... The fence works!!! We have it around our veggie garden and no deer...

Well, better get at it before the rains get here...
