Gardening day

こんばんは！How’s it going?

Today was a continuation of our backyard gardening weekend. We cleaned up the large gardening bed and planted a bunch of peppers, some tomato plants, eggplant, chives, and parsley. In addition, we cleaned up the deck a lot and rearranged a bit. I also extended a garden hose up to the deck to make it easier to water the plants up there, and then I took an extra length of hose and moved it to the front yard to replace an old cracked hose.

So, we are pretty much good to go for the garden! Next, we’d like to get the backyard trees trimmed nicely. But that is something that we’ll have to have a tree service take care of, and that will cost us a good deal of money. I think it is really worth it though, because it is a lot of work to cut all the branches and haul it away. Plus, knowing what branches to cut is a skill in itself, and I want to leave that to the professionals.

This weekend was pretty exhausting on my old body… I am kind of sore today because of yesterday’s work, and tomorrow I will probably be suffering from today’s effort!

The photo above is of some small herbs that we planted up on the deck, and the photos below show our large garden bed down below. It measures 12 feet by 4 feet, so we can plant a lot of things in it!

Well, it was a busy weekend and now I need to sleep. Let’s do our best this coming week!
