Sounds like a big move and lots to do. Glad you could still get the garden in. I got some in a while back when the ground thawed out. Several rows of potatoes, and later when risk of frost was over I put in several varieties of heirloom tomatoes, some winter squash and jalapeno peppers (which the chipmunks ate immediately). I just added many rows of black eyed peas and Kentucky blue pole beans around the boundaries of the fences. We are getting hit from the remnants of a Pacific hurricane/tropical storm and expect rain for the next week. Got everything in at a good time for here in the Colorado Rockies.
Working on getting fire wood cut and dried for next winter. We have a wood burning stove insert in the fireplace and it keeps much of the house toasty. We go through about 5-6 cords of wood in a winter and I have gotten a pretty good start this year. I use the sawdust to compost in between gadden rows and it gets mixed in in fall when I harvest. The lousy mountain soil is getting pretty good in my garden patches.
It was a big job. Thank goodness for my nephew’s help loading and my daughter’s help unloading. I had to lay down flat on the floor to relieve my back after we loaded up.
There was a time when we would have gone ahead and started out Friday night-but we had to rest up before starting the drive home. Sunday was also a recovery day. The spirit is willing, but the body is weaker than it used to be. LOL
