So I havn't written anything in about a month ...

this is only because there was nothing to write about i believe it was dreary and rainy and awful it was depressing to say the least. Now it seems that the sunny days are here to stay.




Update on my seedlings : Rememember how I had like 16 tomato plants, well hardening them off  about half of the plants died (very tragic) so did the asparagus beansand the lettuce. I'll try the asparagus beans again once the raised beds are in hopefully they'll do much better there.
The corn I planted is doing great  I'll have to get  some bigger pots and transplant them soon they've outgrown their starter home and the raised beds aren't up yet :( . The little marigolds I planted the second time around in a  ice cube tray of all places are doing extremely well that I had to transplant them into bigger containers they don't have flowers yet but they're about 2 inches tall  and have lots of foliage.Lastly the peas I planted got way too big for their containers as well and I transplanted them into the succulents raised bed since there was space for them there and I ran out of big pots to put things in.

The rain has been preventing us from building raised beds for many weeks. Mike and me can't work the soil because it's been so muddy, hopefully now we'll get a chance to do it.I've started to move the old border rocks that were in place where the raised beds will go, those things have been there so long I need a crowbar to pry them from the soil it's a good thing my mama didn't raise a weakling.Mike will work the soil after all the rocks are removed and even it out after which we'll add weed cloth and place our raised beds there.Ta Ta  for now
