This last week was Spring Break. We normally go somewhere fun and get away, but this year Jeff is hoarding his time off so we had a stay-cation. It didn't help that we all got a cold this week too. But the kids were awesome and we were able to get some big projects done. My idea of putting wood chips on my paths in the garden didn't work out too well. The majority of them blew away! So I went and got a trailer load of pea gravel and the kids and I spread all of that out on my pathways. It looks so nice now! Then Jeff did take Thurs and Fri off, so we cleaned up the garage on Thursday, and then tilled up the garden on Friday. We reinforced the borders of the big beds with boulders, so it is a little more uniform and we have clearly defined walk ways now. Jeff is going to reinforce the upper bed a little more, but by then we were done! We are going to try to trellis our squash this year, so we can get a little more out of it and be able to walk through it a little easier. We shall see, we are definitely doing "regular" pickles this year.
We had a big storm after we tilled, so there is a bit of a mess up there right now, but it is improving year by year. So that when we don't have the kids around to help, we should be able to manage on our own. We are so selfish!
