Garden is in!!

Well...garden is in. My dad had used a plow to break up the ground last Monday.

My FIL Ray came over on Sunday afternoon with his tractor and worked the ground up nicely. I gotta get me one of these some day. Forget that walking-behind-the-tiller crap we use to do.

So once Ray had it all nice and worked, he helped put the fence posts in with the bucket of the tractor - a lot easier than using the post hole driver. Once those were in, Dad was here, and he pretty much took over the garden. Kinda weird not me and mom, but whatever.

Mom got here later, and was picking out the weeds from the gate to the garden.

Tim was even trying to help. He was the Marker Man. He would put the stakes in the ground so we know where the rows are.

So when all is done, the electric fence is up to keep the deer out, the chicken wire to try and keep the rabbits out (they ate a good chunk of my green beans last time.).

Mom also got the thistles out of the flower beds....she is so good at that!! Hopefully I will grow up to be like her someday :)

I ♥ love ♥ it when I don't have to wear shoes!!

Busy times on the Robinson Homestead!!

Well, with the rain last week, my Mom and I weren't able to do our Mother's Day Garden Work on Sunday. On Saturday I cut the grass REALLY short (2 in, low as it could go) so Grandpa would know how big of a garden we were doing. He came over today with the plow and worked the ground up. It is going to be about 50X60. It isn't going to be full, cause we need room so I don't shock myself on the electric fence. So far, we are doing Green Beans and corn as usual. I think we are going to do bell pepper plant? and possibly a tomato plant. Don't really need a bunch, cause still got tons of juice from a few years ago. But some of the recipes I have been looking at takes crushed tomatoes, but we will see. I'm trying to branch out on what I cook, getting kinda bored, but it is easier to cook things that are quick, easy, and plain. I'm a picky eater, so we will see how it goes.

Mom and I should be working on the Garden this Sunday, so I will try to get some pics and post them for everyone to see.
