Fall Garden Prep

When the first frost hit everything died in our garden so we decided it was time to start the fall prep for the garden. Because the garden did so well Gloria felt she would be able to handle a larger garden next year.

For next year she plans to plant

  • Melons
  • Squash/Zucchini
  • Strawberries
  • Bell Peppers
  • Onions/Garlic
  • Spinach
  • Lettuce
  • Corn
  • Tomatoes
  • green beans
  • Okra
That is a lot more than our tomatoes, okra, and ornamental peppers.

Gloria's Father was able to do the tiling for us which was a great time saver. I wish I would have gotten a picture. Below is a slide show of the plan and the tilled area. Again watch with your favorite song playing cause there is no audio in the video.

Column Install

The other day I was walking through lowes trying to figure out what was the best way to use the remaining part of my budget. As I was walking through the wood section I happened upon some 1"x6" for a reasonable price so I decided to build a column for the front porch.

While there I picked up a pint of some random color of exterior paint. I decided only to build one column first just to see how it turned out.


Lastly, I found some plastic numbers from Walmart. I don't like them but they will do for now. I hope you enjoy the video below. Feel free to have your own music playing in the background cause there is no audio.
