Burrees, and Churrees.........

Ordered me up some goodies t'other day!    I ordered some Fragaria virginiana and two Prunus avium.   Hee hee, if you don't know what that means, then how bout if I say I ordered me some straw-burries, and two churree trees!  Still got nuttin?  I'll just show you then.......

I ordered 25 of these......


And two of these.........


They will be joining my little Peach trees......


In our little orchard! 

Last year was the first "real" year for my peach trees.  The second year after the planting year.  They were so loaded down with peaches that I thinned all of them off except for about a dozen.  Then either the squirrels stole them or they all fell off except for one on one tree.  That one lonely peach was so juicy and sweet!  I hope to get more this year, and next year to be harvesting cherries and strawberries as well!




God Bless...............

Garden Update and Other Random Stuff....

Romaine, Black Seeded Simpson, Spinach, beets, carrots, green onions....

Left to right.......romaine, beets, carrots, green onions, carrots


Sweet corn, green beans, peppers, and 'maters....see my ole' boy Champ in the background? 

Itty bitty peach tree loaded!

The whole garden.........

Things are good here!  Garden is thriving, hawk is working to keep the pesky blackbirds out of it, weather is warm (ok, humid and HOT, but who's counting).

We had a good three day weekend.  I love spending time with The Man.  We did some wrenchin' on The Dodge, which I love to do.  The Man and I put the motor in on Friday night and then Saturday morning we went to the drag races, but it was just too hot so we came home. Sitting in the blazing sun on acres of ashpalt is a very hot way to spend a day, so we came home and I tilled the garden while The Man weed-whacked and The Youngun played in her pool.   Sunday we had to run to town to get some other parts for The Dodge and The Man bought me a creeper of my own!  I'm very excited about it!  This way when we are both under the car, one of us doesn't have to lay in the floor.  Only problem is I usually run over my pony tail with the creeper wheels!  Ouch!
We are glad that The Dodge is finally up and runnin' again and hopefully for good this time.  I won't go into the details of what was wrong with it, cause I know you all could care less, but hopefully it's all good to go now.  It's going to get dyno-ed this week and then we'll breathe easy about how it's going to do.  If they don't blow it up on the dyno, then we won't blow it up at home!  We did manage to get the cops called on us, we are such hardened criminals.  Darned busybody neighbors!  As Hank Jr says........if ya'd mind yer own bidness then ya won't be mindin' mine! 

Till next time............God Bless!

Potatoes, corn, green beans, peppers, and more tomatoes
