Well, well, well...

My month from hell is going to end either tomorrow or Monday when the 237th shrub or tree is planted and mulched and I can then turn some of my attention to my own garden...

I did replant lettuce (head variety), spinich and beets last night just before dark... We replenished the garden with chicken manure this spring and when the tiller man tilled it I don't think he took enough passes 'cause we have a lot of cloddin'... Clods suck and the garden is going to fight us this summer but taters are up and what is up is purdy....

This is about peak for the ornimentals... Hundreds of azaleas and rhodos in full bloom... Even with the deer damage it is quite impressive... Next year with the deer fencde it ougtta be a spectacular show...

Used the tractor bucket to put in a nice little raised bed (20 X 5) between a creape myrtl and a dogwood where we can stick even more azaleas... And a native rhodo (deep marron flowers) that we got in North Carolina... Think it's going to be a nice bed...

Growing out about 30 native azaleas in our veggie gardern... The are from Tennessee and will be yellows and oranges and maybe a few whites... They are about 20 inches tall right now and babies but but next spring they will be certified teenagers with hard wood and all... Then we can sell them as real plants... lol...

'Bout it for now...
