Looks as if today may very well be the day for all the seedlings (6 varieties of tomatoes, 3 of pepper and 2 of eggplant) to come outta the potting shed to play with their buddies in the veggie garden... Actually we're kinda ahead of schedule this year since I've been home more...

The next real biggie is our pond... It has developed and leak and I'm in the process of learning everything I can about "bentonite clay", a product that when tilled into a dry pond makes for a good natural liner... When I first brought this up with an old farmer friend he said to put some hogs in the pond... I thought he was jokling but he wasn't... The hogs will pack the bottom down and prevent leakage... No hogs!!!... Clay... Gonna be a big job but it has to be done... Looks like I'm going to be in the bottom of the pond with the clay and my roto-tiller for a couple days!!!

Everything else here is absolutely beutiful... Never looked so good... The deer fence is the reason... We have had *zero* deer damage in out little 6 acres of paradise...

Gotta go...

Happy gardening, ya'll...
