Garden News! The carrots, lettuce, spinach and of course the radishes have sprouted under the cold frame (which is just the meat chicken's pen I made that I covered in plastic).
Plants seem to like it under there! :-)
Things are good here. Just busy schooling and keeping the house together. G'nad is on days for about two more weeks...it's been great! 4:15 comes early, but it beats him sleeping during the day.
Theboy is vey flexably (not something he got from G'nad) and G'nad can't understand how he gets out of certain moves. It's been a great time for the two of them. G'nad used to wrestle and is helping coach every Tues and Thurs.

Wresting is vey popular here in Oklahoma...much more so than it was in Texas, that I was aware of anyway...makes the news a lot here.
I like it!
mmmm fresh veggies!!! G'nad wants to take a class and put in some above ground beds.
Mrsnad
It's just been a great time for them to be together doing "manly things". They come home and I say "Oh, did you get hurt...are you ok?" :-)
I'd better go. Unsupervisedchildren=someonegetshurt. :-)

I've got at least one old screen door and some frames of some sort stowed in the garage. I should get them out and see what I can make out of them.
Ick. I should think so. :-P
Love fried chicken!
Raised beds are the *way* to go, imo...our beds aren't raised, except for the cinderblock bed, but I would really love it if they were. With railroad ties or cinderblocks...either one...but it's a financial investment I'm not ready to commit to at this location.
But someday...when we get that little bit of land...
Here's our pictures if you missed 'em...

Mrsnad, have you read Mel Bartholomew's book "Square Foot Gardening"? It's great! He's fixin' to come out with a revised edition in February. Updated.
Heh! I raised two meat chickens to age 6 weeks and ate 'em! We have 3 of the original 6 *pet* hens left. Only Jar Jar, who took so long to lay an egg, is still laying.

It's Church!
Run away! Run away!
It's an experiment that's going well for me...I've never used a cold frame before but have wanted to. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
Heh. Looks like Tweak's getting the better part of this deal.
Heh! Viking Kitties!
And she's crafty... hiding places where she cane surprise him ;~D
LOL! Lookit that bitty paw stickin' out. :-D
I just got it at Lowes. It's not the thickest "greenhouse" stuff...I think it's commonly used for drop cloths. I just staplegunned it in place.
