The Adventures of 'The Kidds'

I received a magazine in the mail earlier this month from Lowe’s that saved $10 on a $50 purchase. Since we had a large “mole hill” in the yard where the geo was put in, I knew we needed grass seed, so to spend the additional $$ to save the $10 I bought some plants for the garden. I got a few pepper plants, an acorn squash plant and some cilantro & basil. Its going to rain tomorrow so I decided I should plant some seeds and some of the plants I got today. So I planted 2 of the bell peppers that I got today. I also planted some sun flowers that Paul bought, that will make a nice wall of flowers behind the pool. I also planted 2 rows of snap peas in the edge of the garden. Now I just need to plant some of the tomatoes we started from seed, and then the squash and other peppers I haven’t planted yet. More updates to come..

About 3 years ago Corrine and I joined the Arbor Day Society, and for joining they sent us several flowering trees that were bare root. To protect them, and help them get a little bigger, we planted them behind the shed in the edge of the garden. Well this year I decided that it was about time to move them out of the garden and plant them in the yard. So I started by planting the crab apple trees. We figured that since there wasn’t anything out in the yard on the north side of the pool, we should put some trees out there, so I planted 2 crab apple trees. They are still a little small, but hopefully in a few years they will get a little bigger. I planted them about 15 to 20 feet apart thinking that maybe we could use them as the posts of a volleyball court in a few years once they get bigger.
