Christmas Vacation in the Yard

The time off during the holiday helped a lot of projects along. About 6 more flats got planted in the greenhouse and there are now 2 ½ flats that are sprouted. The camellias and the speckledy things have started sprouting new growth. The desire for a new greenhouse to replace the homemade thing is starting to grow. I found one I really like for about $1200, but it is in a kit and I am not very mechanical. Maybe I can pay someone to put it together. That would be better than paying the $3000 plus that the same greenhouse would cost.

All of the holes have been done and the posts put in for the bambi fence. Some of the posts have not been tamped in yet because it rained all night Christmas eve and the dirt is still too wet. The endless job of splitting firewood has started. The bulbs have been planted and the leaves were gotten up in the back yard and put into the compost bin. New year’s eve belongs to the grandchildren, so nothing will get done this weekend.

People with pets always have the care thing to worry about when they leave town. Those of us who have no pets don’t have to worry, but we need to remember to refresh bird feeders and bird baths before we go. It would not be nice to come home to a bunch of hungry dirty birds.
