Gardening Fun
Just a few pics of some of my successes with gardening!!
Too Much Rain!
We are getting way too much rain! Plus we had a snow melt with all of this rain! The yard is a mess! When walking down to the chicken coop, the lawn is so soft and squishy! I had to wear boots because my feet would have gotten drenched with regular footwear just walking across the lawn! No drought here! Areas out front: Our walkway from driveway to front of house! Crazy! Areas out back: I am glad the chicken run is relatively dry! The first year with my chickens, they were all sinking in mud here! I had to add many bags of fine gravel, followed by many bags of sand to raise the ground level a few inches inside the run! It still wasn’t quite enough so I had to add many more bags of sand a couple more times until I could get the ground was raised enough to stay puddle-free! All in all, I raised the ground here about 7 inches from what it was! It was a lot of work! I can’t recall exactly how many bags of gravel plus sand were used. I’m guessing I used about 30, 50-pound bags of grav
Yet another one of your many talents! I personally kill everything that I touch! ~LOL! I definitely didn't inherit that 'green thumb' gene! : ) Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAww, TY so much! Half the battle is figuring out what’s most hearty. Believe me, I’ve killed many a plants in the past, LOL!! There are some beautiful plants but some are extremely delicate and some are quite the opposite. It’s just figuring out what will make it in your area, and what won’t. I have planted lots of plants and some did great and some did not. When stuff didn’t do well, I just tried planting something else in its place and eventually I had lots of good plants and flowers! Trial and error for sure!
