The raised pallet garden looks like a fancy container garden.
I wasn’t posting much the past two days since I was working on the upper and lower deck during the day to do as much as I could, before engineer would get home and he could lift what I couldn’t. So, I was basically out there all day and evening.
What we did was make it easier for me to do what needed to be done so that’s where I am - gobs of transplanting to do. I could work out there three solid days and maybe it would all be done, but I can’t hold up to working 5-6 hours a day out there like I did the past couple of days. I have to put potting soil mix in many pots.
My orange tree has blossoms opening on it and it has super many buds. Smelling them gives one a concentrated smell of oranges - it’s really a strong smell. I hope I get at least one orange this season. I don’t know really anything about fruit dwarf trees. I’m hoping IT knows what to do and does it.
I have planted more tomato seed as two varieties didn’t make it through the cold and I have new type seed also planted. These are in the seed starter that works for me.
I see tiny, really tiny, bits of green in the wood planter where I planted the lettuce seed tape. It is well covered with net to keep out killers.
Today, I saw my first squirrel this spring and Prissy charged out and he started up on the fence, then back to his tree. I have a glob of black netting, a huge amount that is mixed up so much, I have to figure out how to cut it up. I made a big mistake by not cutting it in sections when it got here all nicely flattened into a long section of net. It is just a mess but I have to get that on the plants since the first squirrel wants in those plants.
Glad Gracie didn’t kill herself with the nasal spray. When Prissy was a baby, had to get all electric cords off the floor because she wanted to chew them.
Gracie was a sick puppy the next day, for sure. Gracie chased a squirrel the other day. The squirrel went up the tree but Gracie didn’t see that. Gracie got to the tree and went round and round the tree wondering where the squirrel went.
I know on small fruit trees to sacrifice some buds in order for the remaining ones to get all the “attention” and grow larger. We removed about 2/3 of the many buds on one of the meyers lemons a few weeks ago.
It looks like that pallet garden was in a rich person’s yard. They probably paid some pros to come in and build it. Kinda like the White Hut garden.
How old is Prissy?
I was afraid Gracie would chew on my O2 hose! We give her enough toys to chew on she leaves most stuff alone, except Carol’s shoes, there we have a problem. My wife being from Lower Mississippi, kicks off the shoes as soon as she hit the house. Good thing she buys cheap shoes.
She rides with me on the scooter in the basket. We go all over the neighborhood. Of course I am quick to tell people “this is my wife’s dog”
