I worked for hours in the garden on Sunday. Tilling, digging, hauling, cleaning, moving and now it is closer to how I want it and I can hardly move today even the muscles in my fingers hurt. I put in paths and mulched them with straw, covered the tomato/pepper bed with cardboard and mulching, planted onions and grapes, would have planted rhubarb but the garden center sold me rotten crowns, built a new bed for asparagus and planted that. Set up the compost bins in a new spot (old one is now the new bed) and cleaned out the tool shed.

| Looking north. On the left of the chives will be my herbs, tomatoes and peppers to the right. The new location for the compost bins is along that fence. |
 |
| Chives, a path and Horseradish, the onions are along the far side of the same bed as the horseradish. |
 |
| Looking South. The kid's play sets and gardens. Soon Mouse's Morning Glories will block the view of the little house. |
 |
| Asparagus Bed, edged in logs from tree trimming. |
 |
| One of the four grape plants I planted. When I first got married I ordered six very expensive grape plants and kept them in a bucket in the garage 'while I got ready' to plant. Yeah soon I had 6 dead expensive plants and an irritated husband. It is a huge deal that I bought these not expensive ones and planted them, because of the past and because I have been dreaming about it for a long, long time. |
 |
| We also burned about a quarter of the brush pile. |

| One of the Apple trees flowering, hopefully not too mad about last week's pruning. Hope your week promises great things for the future! - Julia |
