Planting

Yesterday we planted our garden...corn, peas, beans, onions, lettuce, radishes, squash, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, basil, and cilantro. We're both looking forward to yummy fresh veggies this summer!


Brian also used his day "off" to flatten out the driveway (notice the new rock) and plant grass for the front lawn.


This all follows a weekend of tree-planting. We bought trees from the county, and planted 80 on Saturday and another 40 on Sunday (with the help of Al and Cher!). If you look closely, you can see a bunch of them marked with orange tape.

As we were leaving the cabin yesterday, a little gopher that's been digging up our yard popped his head out. Brian moved into hunter mode and we sat for awhile waiting for him to dare to poke his head out again. Alas, he must have sensed what was waiting for him because he closed up his hole and hid out. We'll just have to get him with poison instead.

Wow! That's a lot of garden for your little place.

It's a good thing you've got those trees marked with orange! Do you have to mow in between and around all those? Yowser.
If that gopher comes back, try one of those oversized plastic rodent traps. They work pretty good on chipmunks!

Nothing like having your wooden spear coverd with gobs of greasy, grimy, gopher guts!
