A big update about everything...

So sorry for the delay in postings, but it is May after all.  On Tuesday I got 28 tomato plants in the ground. We've decided to try the twine method for supporting the tomatoes as they grow. I discovered supporting the tomatoes this way in The Vegetable Gardeners Bible which is my go to book for just about everything. We are still having cold nights here, but only into the the high 30's low 40's which is doable for tomatoes if they are covered. I have 5 tomato plants left over that will end up in the front yard spiral garden supported by cages.

The spiral garden is coming along nicely. We got all the plants divided and put into the ground and sweet peas started for the teepee. I plan to plant beans on the A frame trellis and possibly a squash or two. It needs to be mulched badly and that will happen sometime this weekend... in between rain storms. Memorial day weekend in the PNW is ALWAYS rainy.

All the plants look so small right now. It's rather cute! I don't have the walk way done yet because I am going to need a ton of woolly thyme, I bought two plants but that's a lot of walk way to cover.

We have a chicken who isn't laying, she hasn't been for about a month now. I am going to spend some time outside checking for an outdoor nest, some chickens will just decide to lay outside. So I've gotta check that out, oh and maybe deworm them and get some DE into the coop shavings. I don't think our bee's are enjoying the wet weather considering all flights are grounded. I want to get in and do another hive check but that must wait until it is warmer which will be likely sometime early next week.

Mom and I are prepping for a garage sale too! That should take place the weekend of the 11th. Provided we actually get nice weather? I am going to sell off some major furniture and all the chemical cleaners in the household. It truly is amazing what I found under the cupboards. Jake and I need to spend some time organizing the garage for the sale, moving stuff that we don't want out there to the basement or out back. I need to get his triathlon gear up for sale too! Man the list just goes on and on....
