It was a beautiful weekend and so we had to be outside. There is a lot to do, so luckily some friends wanted to be outside as well, so we accomplished quite a bit.
Thanks to Terry’s tiller, Paul was able to till the entire garden, and it looks ready to plant.. And Ricardo and I were able to make our way through about a third of the dirt pile, left behind after the geothermal installation, and tried to get atleast the big rocks that were on top. Just like we did last year after we replaced the water main. Its interesting how rocky this soil is just down a little, but the top part isn’t that rocky, so stuff grows quite well. Anyway we took some of the rocks, and I used them to edge the flower beds around the house. It looks nice, just that little bit of work, just makes it look so different. I’ll post some pictures in a few days, but I need to finish the last flower bed in front of the house then I’ll take some pictures. Maybe I should take a picture of the back one now, but I need to finish weeding that first, too. So just be patient and I’ll have pictures.

So I mentioned that last weekend, I planted some seeds. These were all seeds that we had left over from last year, and so I wasn’t really sure if all the seeds would take off, so I probably plated more then I needed to but its better to have more then less. So this past week, I have been keeping an eye on the seeds and there are tons of plants coming up. the carrots and tomatoes are going crazy. But I really just threw a handful in instead planting individual seeds, so it didn’t surprise me, but I guess it does surprise me how many seeds I must have put in, and how a lot of them are coming up too. So I took the tomatoes and carrots that were growing like crazy, and separated them into smaller pots. I also took the peas and beans and put them also into new pots, so we will have a lot of plants, hopefully they will produce a lot of veggies.

So before you get too surprised with me that I started the garden too early. I started planting today, by putting some seeds in the little indoor green house, hopefully we will get a lot of good veggies this year. I’ll keep updating how things are progressing, and what we get out of these seeds.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Tony’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine.
So Corrine and I have been trying all kinds of Pizza lately, probably, cause it’s so easy to just call the pizza place especially cause they are offering such cheap pizza deals, but we have also been trying frozen pizza. Now we have had some pretty bad frozen ones, I know you know the ones we are talking about. The ones that looks and almost taste like cardboard.
I got an email a few weeks ago, about Tony’s Pizza and they were giving away coupons for free pizza. I jumped on that quick, I mean we just had a baby, I’ll go for anything that is cheap or free. We were like that before Daniel, but we are even more frugal now. Anyway I filled out the form and in the mail a few days ago arrived several coupons for free Tony’s Pizza, (I might send you some, if you tell me what you do for pizza night) Anyway we got the coupons, and I took one to the store and tried it.

So it is finally getting warm up. When this week started we had like 2 feet of snow outside and once this weekend started we probably still had 4 or 5 inches in the yard. But this past weekend it warmed up to 50 this past weekend.
It was nice that it was so warm, we got to go out on Sunday, and take a few walks out and around Oxford with Daniel and Corrine. It was a good time. Maybe spring will be here soon and we can start spending more time outside.
